Renungan buat yang bergelar anak (oh, itu aku).

(Anugerah berharga)

When I spill some food on my nice clean dress,
Or maybe forget to tie my shoe,
Please be patient and perhaps reminisce,
About the many hours I spent with you.


When I taught you how to eat with care,
Plus tying laces and your numbers, too,
Dressing yourself and combing your hair,
Those were precious hours spent with you.


So when I forget what I was about to say,
Just give me a minute-or-two,
It probably wasn't important anyway,
And I would much rather listen just to you.


If I tell the story one more time,
And you know the ending through and through,
Please remember your first nursery rhyme,
When I rehearsed it a hundred times with you.


When my legs are tired and it's hard to stand,
Or walk the steady pace that I would like to do,
Please take me carefully by my hand,
And guide me now as I often did for you.
