The Story Of Us (Migrant Worker's Poem)

The Story Of Us (Migrant Worker's Poem)

Sailed across the oceanĀ 
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 schoolĀ 
Teach you with your homework atĀ noon

When your sick I lay with you
I always kiss your pain awayĀ 
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 alongĀ 
We build happy memories and joyous melodies

But all these happy momentsĀ 
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 givingĀ 
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??Ā 
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 familiesĀ 
Us who have been a migrant worker in others nation...
