Well friends, seorang kawan mengirimkannya kepada
saya.. Dan sengaja nggak diterjemahkan ke bahasa
Indonesia karena akan menghilangkan keindahan pusisi
didalamnya.. Well, sekalian belajar bhs inggris..
I had a marvelous mother who loved me, sacrificed for
me and helped me in every way possible. In all of my
growing up, through college and eventually marriage,
my mother was always at my side. And when I needed
help with my little ones, she was there for me.
Today, we buried this wonderful woman. Can you imagine
how I felt when I returned from the services and found
this poem in her desk drawer?
THE TIME IS NOW
If you are ever going to love me
Love me now while I can know
The sweet and tender feelings
Which from true affection flow
Love me now while I am living
Do not wait until I am gone
And then have it chiseled in marble
Sweet words on ice-cold stone
If you have tender thoughts of me
Please tell me now
If you wait until I am sleeping
Never will be death between us
And I won't hear you then
So if you love me, even a little bit
Let me know while I am living
So that I can treasure it
Now she is gone and I am sick with guilt because I
never told her what she meant to me. Worse yet, I did
not treat her, as she deserved to be treated. I found
time for everyone and everything but I never made time
for her.
It would have been easy to drop in for a cup of tea
and a hug but my friends came first. Would any of them
have done for me what my mother did?
I know the answer. When I called mom on the phone, I
was always in a hurry. I feel ashamed when I think of
the times I cut her off. I remember too, the times I
could have included her and didn't.
I realize now that I was too critical, too
short-tempered, and too stingy with praise.
The world is filled with sons; daughters and a child
like me. I hope they see themselves in this letter and
realize from it.
PS: Nice regards for Alin at GPIB Pniel Singaraja
