I CLOSE MY EYES ACTUALLY

Sometimes I wonder

Why I still don't have what other people can have

I want a permanent home that I will stay until forever

But I still can't have it

I want to have my own family in an early age of an adult

But I still can't have it

Maybe because I'm actually not a good family member

I put a large hatred towards my father

I rarely call my mother when I'm far away

I have many debts with my sister

I rarely pray for my late sister

I want to have a soulmate like other people

But I still can't have it

Maybe because I'm actually not a good lover

I don't understand much the opposite gender

I don't have enough money to share with other people

I'm not able to protect anyone

I just can dream and no action

Maybe I'm a good common friend anywhere

But I'm not a good family member

And I'm not a good lover

When I close my eyes

And still wondering

I need to see this writing

As it will open my eyes back

And keep reminding me

                                                                                                                                                                                                   

BEE

This is a poem given by my student, Amira Dhaniya, from 2 Ummu Aiman as a bid of farewell during the end of my practicum in SMKA Naim Lilbanat. Thank you very much for this poem! :'D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You're like a wonderful bee,

Came in a garden full of flowers.

You make us happy,

And give us powers.

The powers to stay alive,

Is when you collect our nectar.

You ask us to strive,

For perfection and being a star.

You know what,

If we could, we won't let you go.

But guess what,

Perhaps bidding farewell is such sweet sorrow.

Goodbye bee,

The flowers will miss you.

Be happy,

May God bless you.
