Don'T Go And Leave Them

I could feel the pressures of my blood Rocketing, like the shooting up of the ill-fated space shuttle into space And a moment later Leaving behind A thundering and deafening sounds With blistering fireworks Momentarily, conquered the skies of Cape Canaveral My heart was pounding As fast as the Modern Day Orient Express Cutting into vast Europe heavenly Continent That bloody morning was the dateline To disembark to a new destiny To redeem me for all the disfigured Miscalculation and tormented life I could ever have had With the mother of three beloved children of mine The moment I walk out of the door Heading towards a new unblemished frontier My steps becoming slower and dying Like a ton of cements attached to it The pictures of my children Incessantly the youngest one Were cultivating and Galvanizing my helpless mind I could no longer forward It’s like, for a dramatic And unexplained turnaround of event My whole body Was paralyzing and preventing me from moving For a father Who poured all his loves and affections To his blissful and beloved children Wouldn’t have the heart To leave them though A moment later I grab my cell phone And call “Hi dear, I’ll be back. I couldn’t do it”. Deep down her heart My wife replies, “I knew it, you’ll come back to us”. Well, the kids are all I had They are my life and will always be Don’t leave home without thinking of them And eternally do have them In your mind, heart and soul They are precious than a Ferrari car a palace a million dollar or a Marilyn Monroe God, I thanked you For giving me That penultimate kind of love That money just can’t buy. 02/01/2008 REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE
