A few days ago was my mom's birthday, and I wrote this for her.
-------
Hi Ma, this is for you:
Specially for Mama
My Mummy was born on this day years ago
A little baby in Singapore
And at that time, how lil’ did she know
The things she had in store
She grew up - a baby into a lady
And one day met my Pa
When they fell in love she didn’t say maybe
Got married in Malaysia
There must have been many an adventure
Inserted into their story
Each memory itself a jeweled treasure
They submit to the Father’s glory.
Yet there must be a particular highlight
Something above the rest
A part of Ma’s life that nothing can fight
Her children: they are the best!
Not that I’m giving myself applause
I couldn’t stoop so low
But I think we are the best because
Mama treated us so.
-------
Hi ma, thank you so much for loving us and caring for us so far in our lives.
I don’t know how I can ever repay you in any real way – but I know I can try my best to be a good man of God that both you and Papa can be proud of. I just like you to know that I know both you and Papa always try to be the best parents you can be for us and I’ll continually look forward to those times when I can come home. Do not worry, whatever place Mama and Papa are at will always be home to us, just as we are always your children.
Your beloved son, Ah Derk
