Untuk anakku: Wisnu dan Akira
saat kalian menangis
mengertilah, tangan ibu hanya dua
hanya bisa untuk memeluk salah satu dari kalian
tapi hati ibu cukup untuk kalian berdua
saat kalian tinggal di rumah
ibu menemani kalian bermain
ingatlah, akan ada saatnya
ibu harus pergi atau ke kantor lagi nanti
walau hati ibu tertinggal di rumah
jika kalian beranjak remaja nanti
seolah waktu kalian hanya untuk kawan-kawan
ibu akan ingat dan merindukan
saat-saat kalian mendekap erat
pada masanya kalian akan meninggalkan rumah
membuat pilihan hidup dan berkeluarga
kedua tangan ibu masih terbuka lebar
hati ibu masih cukup untuk mantu dan cucu
doa ibu akan selalu untuk kalian

wah...wisnu n akira menikah? masih lama kan ya...
And a woman who held a babe against
her bosom said, Speak to us of Children.
And he said:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for
itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not
to you.
You may give them your love but not your thougts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make
them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with
yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living
arrows are sent forth.
The Archer sees the mark upon the path of the
infinite, and He bends you with His might that His
arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the Archer's hand be for
gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He
loves also the bow that is stable.
