"Lady in Paradise"
(A tribute poem for my deceased grandmother)
Sun kissed her cheeks and it lights,
Unexpected effect gives off a color that is so bright,
Unbothered by this even in night,
Looking forward to see her knight.
Her face painted with a smile,
Cannot hide her feeling of being glad,
That look, the brilliant and stress-free glimpse on her face,
Let no negative trace leaves the place.
Sheltered by a swamp of love and hope,
This woman is happy to leave her folks,
She leaves, she leaves as if she didn't exist,
Didn't even bother to look back and hug her child so warm and tight.
She had it hard to stay strong and stand,
Even if she can't have a brand,
"Don't brag", that's what she say,
For she want to humbly live her life as it is.
"I want to see the Paradise" that's what I want,
But first I want my child to live a stable life,
To embrace and to care, to swallow the pride of being immature,
To let out the desire of being recognizable,
And to think that life won't end here for sure.
Stand up my child - let me lead you to the right path,
I forgive you for your negligence, so do I love you this much,
I'm sorry if I'll leave you but I know great things will come forward,
Accept my farewell for I won't be able to hold back,
I'll go not because I'm tired but this is the right time,
The right time for me to go in the paradise.
