MY OFFSPRING IS MY BLESSING

Myka, that’s what we call her
But her real name is the same as my mother
Who left me, my sister and my father
To wander in the future

Anyway, let’s get on with my story
This is about my little baby
Sweet, pretty and cuddly
Who gives me inspiration when I’m lonely

I wish I could hold and kiss her someday
For I am working overseas far away
I’m so alone here in this far country
But I am trying to be jolly

There was a time that she visited me
Of course with a guardian, her auntie
My golly she was very choosey
When I hold her, she wants to flee

But I finally got time to carry her
I make her sleep and feed her hunger
I even clean her feces occasionally
For that is also my responsibility

We were happy being with each other
In our moment there was no biter
We wandered from place to place
Often using our feet to pace

The end of their vacation was coming
We must part ways for the time being
I kissed her farewell as my heart was aching
Then small drops of tears starts producing

Sadness abides me for weeks
I’m mostly like a freak
For I missed my daugher so much
I wanted her sense of touch

Even though my wife was here before
As she can fill up my sore
We were not living together
Because she has her own employer

My wife was going home months after
So that she can take care of our daughter
She was also pregnant at that moment
And was about to deliver our new infant

Time passes by and loneliness again abides
For no loved one here by my side
But what else can I do?
I cannot escape from this issue

Then a baby was delivered in this world
Crying and crying they heard
This causes my feelings to split apart
For my daughter was no longer alone in my heart

I love both of my children
I will not leave them in burden
There is just one problem
I cannot take care of them

Once I had the time to go back home
I want to see how much they have grown
But I was disappointed of what I see
Because my daughter wouldn’t want to get near to me

I have never been there for my little baby
I wish I had seen her stand so quickly
On her first birthday I was not there for her
But I’m working so that their life will be better

My son on the other hand likes me
He likes to be carried by any
He often bites any finger
Specially a smaller one like his sister

I enjoyed so much during my stay
Even though my daughter wants me away
But I’m buying my time for her
Because I want her to be closer

At last her feelings has become stable
It happened when I bought her a baby bottle
She was smiling and I was thankful
My patience was indeed fruitful

Time goes by then my vacation was over
There is one certain thing I discovered
That I should always make bonds to my family
Otherwise their feelings would end far from me

That night when I said goodbye
My daughter cry and cried
Maybe she don't want me to go
But I must do it for I love them so

In this far country in which I live
There shouldn’t be a room to be passive
For you will end up being crazy
Like others who struggle desperately

My daughter now is two years old
And as I am building their stronghold
I keep thinking what life would it be
Without someone caring for me
