"The Petals' Story"

Rose petals falling on the ground
Drapped in dirt, only to be stepped
upon
Now what can they rely on
When beauty has faded almost gone

Rain can no longer give them life
But helping the ground swallows
deeper inside
Burying what's left in hope and belief
And their pieces of
will to live

Whom can be blamed, really?
Wind, rain or even the
tree?
Too much of a burden it's to carry
Living in the world of cruelty

The Most Compassionate is The Maker
Sending Angels as appointed
caretakers
Saving the grace from falling further
Of the beauty to last
forever.

Eh.... kenyataannya PLRT dari Indonesia juga pada pinter-pinter nih, sama seperti PLRT dari Philipina itu. So lain kali kalau aku mau menilai mereka, pikir-pikir dulu ah, sebelum salah memberi penilaian.

Somehow, it's difficult for me to believe that this poem was written by an Indonesian house-maid. This is too good to be true. It's very beautiful, even if written by a student. I'm really proud of you, Maya. Keep on writing. Allah bless you.
