Eternal Love Poem by Norazah Norddin

They are the reasons I am here today
They love me
They care for me
Their love, nobody can beat
Their love is pure as a white cloth
They live in this world for reasons
To grow, to shape their children into a grown up successful person

Their expectations are high
Especially to their last child
Because their last child is the
Last hope
Last chance
Last one to make their dreams come true
Their children's success are their success too

But it's weird when there's a child
Is bad enough to leave their parents at the Old Folks' Home
You have no idea how desperate it is to get a mother and father's love for an orphan
And how could you leave them there?

You have no idea how it's like to lose your parents at a very young age
You have no idea how it's like to see your parents dying in front of your eyes
You have no idea how it's like to see your parents got killed
You have no idea how it's like to see your parents got buried
You have no idea when they cried because of your behaviours
You have no idea when they're missing you and you just ignore
You have no idea how many tons of tears they have cried when you are harsh to them
They never taught you to become a violent person
They never want that to happen
All they want to see is their seeds are grown beautifully and beneficial to others
Their children are all they have to continue their life journey on the Earth while they're in the Earth

One day...
When you see their chair is empty
Their voices are suddenly playing in your head
Your mother's nag would be a beautiful song
Your father's voice you will be longing for
Their love, their prayer for you
Are no longer you will get.
