When i'm 6, she's 66.
Now i'm 30, she's 90 already.
When i'm still sitting in a pram, she pushed me everywhere she goes.
But now she's on a wheelchair, I cannot bring her wherever I go.
When i'm hungry, she gave me my favourite food.
But when she's hungry now, I cannot give her what she likes.
When I learn to speak, she teach me all she knows.
But when I talk to her now, she doesn't understand me at all.
When i'm growing bigger, she bought me new clothes.
But now she cannot wear what i buy for her.
When she used to hold her in arms, i felt so much warmth.
But now I cannot hug her for she's so frail and weak.
I want her to be there for me in every stage of my life.
But I do not know if she will ever be there.
One thing I do hope is that she will always be happy, healthy and strong.
I love her....
Yo! I sensed a bit of sadness in your blog post, I hope your ah ma is ok. Anyway, this is life, maybe you heard it many times before, but as long as she lived a happy and fulfilling life, it's all good. You'll have all the good memories when she's no longer with you. Now when she's still around, try to visit her more often? :)
ReplyDeleteYeah she's okay, but every time when I visit her, I get that very sad feeling in me.. you know.. it's like you kept talking to her, but she doesn't understand what you are saying at all.
ReplyDeleteI keep telling myself, my ah gong is waiting for her at the other world and that makes me feel better..
Jessie, that's a beautiful poem......brings back lotsa memories for me......we should all cherish the people around us because they won't be around forever......wishing your ah ma the best........
ReplyDeleteThanks Max! I'm not sure if that's a poem but it's just something coming right out of my heart. Yes we should always cherish our loved ones as they might not always be there for us :)
