Cloudy quiet morning
Step up solemnly to the altar
Witness by God and loving families
Entering a bright new life
Approaching Christmas season
A vacant chair beside a sad father
Sob, tears overflow the handkerchief
Mother lying in hospital white sheet
Who longing this special wedding
Of only, eldest, grown beloved son
All chairs occupied in a ball room
Scarves covered both shoulders by me alone
Symbol of love and united
Father can't hold the tears not to shed
Before the sunset, enter a new home
Welcome a new spouse alone
No mom's hug and kissing
Makes the eyes blur, wet cheeks
Father, family and new spouse
Gather for long prayers
Begging for mom relieve soon
To complete the happy atmosphere
JAWABAN DOA MAMA
(INDONESIA)
Semua berdiri dalam hening sunyi
Mata Ayah diusap tak henti
Karena Ibu terbaring diatas seprei putih
Ketika Pendeta menasbih jadi suami istri
Saat indah yang lama dinanti
Sapu tangan biru diusap tak henti
Ketika selendang ulos disandangkan
Dibahu anak dan menantu yg lama ditunggu
Marga keluarga dan ummat jadi saksi
Matanya nanar melihat foto sejoli
Dibisikkan "mama" didaun telinga
Mulut komat kamit menyebut nama
Menggelengkan kepala, entah siapa
Asupan makan melalui selang panjang
Buangan ditampung disamping badan
Tiga hari minggu tergolek lemah
Tuhan, mohon pulihkan mama
Dua minggu dirawat dirumah
Gerak mata dan mulut penuh makna
Duduk, melangkah tertatah tatah
Senyum dikulum bersama menantu
Jawaban doa yang lama ditunggu
