A Father's Wish
Perhaps you realize
Perhaps not
As a father
How much I love You
I live, I breathe,
Only for You
If you were not
I would have gone
To my motherland a long ago
I understand you are busy
I pray for you to stay happy
Wherever you are
However,
I want to say only this;
You may buy everything
In every time; in various shapes
To enjoy your life
But you have only once your father
And mother that
You nowhere can buy
Remember such status
One day you will be
Father and mother as well
Thus, spare the time
For your father and mother
Especially the elderly and sick ones.
To earn their blessings and prayers.
