When you're alone at home ... especially after the merry Raya
The full-house, the laughter, the chaos & all ....
Now that things are back to their normal routines ...
Suddenly ...
How empty this house feels!
And ...
The eerie silence in the morning
... makes this old heart of mine ache!
... makes me want to turn-back the clock!
To yesterdays ...
when the kids are young ... AND everyone's at home
The chaotic mornings ... when going to schools
The war-like afternoons ... when they fight for the drumsticks & wings!
The quite nights ... when everyone doing their school-works
(So cute a sigh ... when they're lying flat on their stomachs!!)
The occasional fights & tears
The kiss & heal cuts & bruises
The goodnite prayers ... all reciting together in harmony!
The 'salam' kisses before departing to schools ...
Sigh! The list goes on & on ...
Slowly, the smile on my lips gets wider ...
Yet ... my eyes waters, my nose runny!
But ... my heart is lighter.
For I know that ...
I can always unfold the cherished the moments ...
Over & over again
When my weary old heart ...
Ache ...
For my beloved sons & daughter!!!
Muahhhh !!! Mama Sayang Kamu Semua ...
