Happy Mother's Day, I love you *so* much mommy :* ({})

My Miracle Mother

Mom, I look at you
and see a walking miracle.
Your unfailing love without limit,
your ability to soothe my every hurt,
the way you are on duty, unselfishly,
every hour, every day,
makes me so grateful
that I am yours, and you are mine.
With open arms and open heart,
with enduring patience and inner strength,
you gave so much for me,
sometimes at your expense.
You are my teacher,
my comforter, my encourager,
appreciating all, forgiving all.
Sometimes I took you for granted, Mom,
but I don’t now, and I never will again.
I know that everything I am today
relates to you and your loving care.
I gaze in wonder
as I watch you being you—
my miracle, my mother.

It's Raining In Love



I don't know what it is,
but I distrust myself
when I start to like a girl
a lot.

It makes me nervous.
I don't say the right things
or perhaps I start
to examine,
evaluate,
compute
what I am saying.

If I say, "Do you think it's going to rain?"
and she says, "I don't know,"
I start thinking : Does she really like me?

In other words
I get a little creepy.

A friend of mine once said,
"It's twenty times better to be friends
with someone
than it is to be in love with them."

I think he's right and besides,
it's raining somewhere, programming flowers
and keeping snails happy.
That's all taken care of.

BUT

if a girl likes me a lot
and starts getting real nervous
and suddenly begins asking me funny questions
and looks sad if I give the wrong answers
and she says things like,
"Do you think it's going to rain?"
and I say, "It beats me,"
and she says, "Oh,"
and looks a little sad
at the clear blue California sky,
I think : Thank God, it's you, baby, this time
instead of me.

Catatan dari hutan jati



ada kerinduan mengalir
lewat geriap angin awal musim
tak lagi sepi jatuhkan daun-daun jati
dari ajal yang datang sebagai pemisah
antara reranting yang kehabisan salam
dan daun-daun jati menyungging luka
sementera sendu diterbangkan angin
dari gugusan benua seberang
tercatat seribu rindu yang tercecer
sebelum kita sempat bertukar dahaga.
- 1981

Bulan dan Gelombang

 
ada bulan pucat dipermainkan gelombang
menari di lekuk dinginnya malam
ada lelaki pucat telanjang dada
mengayuh sampan daun lontar
mengejar buih di negeri bayang-bayang
angin timur mendera menghanyutkan malam
pantai di jauhan nampak tenggelam
nasib melintas-lintas menampar gelombang
hidup atau mati bersama bulan tengah malam
sebab tak ada pilihan selain ketabahan
ia adalah lelaki jantan
pelaut ulung dari makassar
berani membelah samudera
dengan doa dan sebilah badik
serta keringat yang bergaram
ia adalah lelaki jantan
yang mencari lengan-lengan gelombang
untuk dipeluknya.

WAIT

One thing that I hate to do is wait, but I must have more patience for it, it sucks indeed but thank you Archie for singing this song, I'm in love with this song tremendously!!

 WAIT - DAVID ARCHULETA

I can’t sleep, I’m feeling wide awake
Tonight is taking it’s time
How much more before the morning breaks
And I can leave it all behind
‘Cause every time I try to close my eyes
I only end up seeing memories of you
And it’s never enough, I’m waiting

Even though you’re gone I can hear your heart
It’s calling out my name like a flash in the dark
If this is just a dream
I won’t give it back
I’ll find a way to make it last
One more minute, wait, wait, wait, don’t go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don’t go

I am keeping every word you say
But how much longer can I hold on
Cause whispers echoing until they fade
Remind me that you’re already gone
‘Cause every time I try to chase your voice
I end up getting lost and running in circles
And it’s never enough, I’m waiting

Even though you’re gone I can hear your heart
It’s calling out my name like a flash in the dark
If this is just a dream
I won’t give it back
I’ll find a way to make it last
One more minute wait, wait, wait, don’t go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don’t go
Wait, wait, wait, don’t go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don’t go
Oooh yeah, don’t go

Even though you’re gone I can hear your heart
It’s calling out my name like a flash in the dark
If this is just a dream
I won’t give it back
I’ll find a way to make it last
One more minute, wait, wait, wait, don’t go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don’t go

All About Me - Matt Dusk

I post this song because it describes my current life *so* deep!!



What a fine mess I got myself into this time
Who'd of thought a guy like me could crumble
I'm sure that not a soul would ever guess that I'm
Finding it hard to even stumble

I used to think that I was strong
I used to think the world revolved around me
Never thought that I was wrong
And this big world almost drowned me

But I'm breaking out of my routine
And about time that I come clean
And it's all good and it's all new
Let's reintroduce myself to you
No trouble that I'm in
No way that I can't win
And a good man I will be
Once I learn it's not all about me

There was a day when the walls were covered with my face
Walking through you'd think it was my mothers
There was not a single hair out of place
One eyebrow just a little bit higher than the other

I used to think that I was cool
I used to think the world was for the taking
Going to a brand new school
Look at all the friends I'm making

'Cause I'm breaking out of my routine
And about time that I come clean
And it's all good and it's all new
Let's re-introduce myself to you
No trouble that I'm in
No way that I can win
And a good man I will be
Once I learn it's not all about me myself and I

Yes, we made a deal
To become a better man
So throw away the books and just do it by feel

'Cause I'm breaking out of my routine
And about time that I come clean
And it's all good and it's all new
Let's reintroduce myself to you
No trouble that I'm in
No way that I can win
And a good man I will be
Once I learn it's not all about...

Breaking out of my routine
And about time that I come clean
And it's all good and it's all new
Let's reintroduce myself to you
No trouble that I'm in
No way that I can win
And a good man I will be
Once I learn it's not all about me
