The Story Of Us (Migrant Worker's Poem)
Sailed across the oceanÂ
Flew away to the sky
Driven by desires
Soaring for your dreams so high
His future is what ahead
Clear path illustrated in my head
Walking away from home
Is this really what it is meant ?
As the sun shines up
I make sure your meal is done
Get you ready for schoolÂ
Teach you with your homework at noon
When your sick I lay with you
I always kiss your pain awayÂ
When your blue I dance so strange
To bring back that smile again in your face
In times of trouble I fight for you
I am the hero you've always wanted
Thru all those years..we got alongÂ
We build happy memories and joyous melodies
But all these happy momentsÂ
Are not meant to be forever
Cause suddenly.. I recognize a sweet voice like yours
Ohh I marely forgot...I have a son left so far away
I was enchanted by the love who've givingÂ
But you are not just the son I should be loving
It should be only for work that I am caring
But due to loneliness.. you had me going
My eyes burst into tears
My heart start to bleeds
My mind stops to think
My soul was dead indeed
He was a baby when I left
Now I remember him...questions runs into my head
Is he well?.. or does he always eats?
Is he too loved by the same way I loved someone else child?
Oh my son ...sorry for my absences
To every birthday I didn't give you a hug
To every moments when you need a love
To every teardrops..I didn't wipe away
But there is so much more
Do you know me as your mother??Â
What if you don't...and push me away
Oh God I can't take that hate
I did to be away to earn money
To build your future and give you everything
Is this really what it is?
It is like a nightmare in my dreams
I hope this is not too late
To love you and take care of you
I was afraid when I have to leave you
But now I am more afraid to come home cause I might be a stranger to you
Sorry.. is all I have to say
Sorry for giving my love to other
That is should only be for you
Sorry for leaving for you... I know this is hurting you
And this is the story of us
Us who sailed away to earn for a living
Us who ease the pain and loneliness... always crying
Us who have been sometimes forgotten by our familiesÂ
Us who have been a migrant worker in others nation...
