THE BOYS IN MY LIFE

Not a single day passes that I don’t think about them
The way I held them as babies
All SIX of them
With tears in my eyes
Their hearts beating with life

HAFIZ, your sombre eyes staring out to the world
Your handsome face so adult even as a child

ZHARIN, the way you used to sit so still when I hold you a certain way
Your chubby cheeks and big eyes looking at me so trustingly

HADRI, your beautiful doe eyes makes me tearful
Your cheeky smile makes me sigh

DANIAL, so handsome in angst beautiful in laughter
Every time you call me ‘AYANG’ my heart melts further

EMIL, you say I’m your ‘second’ mother
Well, you’re my baby, my treasure

ZAEN, I’m your ‘TATA’ and you’re my heart
With your sweet little kisses and ’big hugs’

My boys my boys
My life
