Satu Hati Satu Kenangan

Sepasang mata melihat satu hati berkarya
Merajut seuntai kata indah
Sepasang mata memandang satu hati berbicara
Melantunkan untaian perasaan
Segenap mata melihat segenap jiwaku terbang
Senyummu kukenang menyinari fatamorgana
Sejenak hatiku diam lalu hilang ditelan kenyataan
Terbuai untaian kata yang kunjung tak terbalaskan
Segenap mataku terpejam hati larut dalam gelap duka
Saat kutarik kesimpulan kau hanya sebuah kenangan

Footprints

One night a man had a dream
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints on the sand
One belonging to him, the other to the Lord

When the last scene of his life lashed before him,
He looked back at the footprints in the sand
He noticed that many times along the path of his life there were only one set of footprints
He also noticed that it happened at very lowest and saddest time in his life

This really bothered him, and he questioned the Lord about it
“Lord, you said that one I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during he most troublesome times in my life there is only one set
Of footprints .I do not understand why when I needed you most, you would leave me?”

The Lord replied “My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you
During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you.”

Love

Love is to share and ask nothing to return
Even I want her mine
But she leave me away
Love is happy to see your beloved happy
When she laugh and smile
And someone hold her hand tight
Love is to protect and ask nothing in return
When you hold her arms
To cross the way
To go home save
And love is trust
Believing someday
She’ll come to me . . . all the way to see me
When she had all the way . . . happy in the end
