Ratapan Seorang Anak

Bukan perihal siapa yang terkemuka
Dibalik kata manis.

Namun, bertemu wajah yang akan
Membuatnya lebih bermakna.

Dibalik usia yang sudah menua
Ingatan yang mulai hilang

Dia hanya ingin kehadiran,
Bukan ingin merenggut hartamu
Tapi sebagai obat kesepian dalam hatinya

Jalan ini menjadi saksi
Bahwa aku pernah berusaha semampuku
Berjuang dengan waktu yang tak mudah.

I wish I could understand this... Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

I am sorry I cannot read your poem. English is required. It is not a matter of who is prominentBehind the sweet words.Instead, meeting a face that willMake it more meaningful.Behind an aging age,Memories that begin to fadeThey only desire presence,Not wanting to snatch your wealthBut as a cure for the loneliness in their heartThis road bears witnessThat I have tried to the best of my abilityStruggling with a time that was not easy.
