On the first six months, it developed

The weird bean finally grew legs and hands

Tickling the mother and catching her in surprise

Laughter can be heard everytime it kicks


The It became a she,

The mother found out on the fifth month

Her relatives rejoiced

A new member was about to come!


On the ninth month, the mother was in pain

Her daughter is itching to come out

Spread her hands like she was about to fly

The mother understood and endured the whole time


When the baby came out of her mother's womb,

How happy the family was!

Everyone wants to hold her

They adore her and shakes hands with her


They welcomed her

Taught her many things

And let her experience enjoyable things

And console her when she experience hardships


The baby got spoiled and pampered

Everyone watches her like she was a fragile glass

Everytime she was hurt, they will try to make her forget the pain

Let her laughter be the one... To cover up the whole place


The baby, however, had became a woman in no time

She rebelled and got tired of the protectiveness

She wants to go through life independently

Spread her wings and live


The woman, like her parents, fell in love

To a boy who, together with her, became a man

They went through so many obstacles

Had times when they want to give up


But she remembered her mother's words,

'True happiness will be gained through hardships'

It was when she was still a little girl

Nothing can be gained easily, she must work hard for it


She fought, and fought, and fought

Until the time when they faced the altar

Vowed to love each other,

until one's last breath
