PUISI


geram si bocah pada khayalnya
merengek campakan tangis dalam kelambu
bangun berlari lalu terjatuh minta dibeli
menyusut merangkul lutut di depan bale

pagi cerah menunggu teman sebaya
mengukur kebun buat mainan dari bambu
tertawa haha! sambil semua bertingkah geli
merambat senang gembira sampai tibanya sore

‘Aduh emak’ si bocah terlambat takut ditanya
menggoda bercerita ada si gila mencuri jambu
berbohong tentang hari karena takut dimarahi
emak pergi tahu kenapa si bocah terus mengoceh

pulang magrib lampu lampu sudah menyala
pergi mandi lalu menyantap semangkuk sayur labu
‘emak!’ hari ini Zuhrie tidak berkelahi
‘emak’ hari ini Zuhrie tidak bermain becek

FOREVER FRIEND

Sometimes in life
you find a special friend
Someone who changes your life
just by being part of it.

Someone who makes you laugh
until you can’t stop
Someone who makes you believe
that there really is good in the world.
Someone who convinces you
that there really is an unlocked door
just waiting for you to open it.
This is Forever Friendship.

When you’re down,
and the world seems dark and empty,
Your forever friend lifts you up in spirit
and makes that dark and empty world
suddenly seem bright and full.

Your forever friend gets you through
the hard times, the sad times,
and the confused times.
If you turn and walk away,
your forever friend follows.
If you lose your way,
your forever friend guides you
and cheers you on.

Your forever friend holds your hand
and tells you that
everything is going to be okay.
And if you find such a friend,
you feel happy and complete,
because you need not worry.
You have a forever friend for life,
and forever has no end.
