First of May
Hari ini 1 April 2012, genap 34 perkahwinan abahku dengan mamaku. Terima kasih abah dan mama kerana membesarkan kami dengan tabah. Aku tahu selepas menjadi seorang ayah, ianya tidak mudah. Tetapi kami semua telah buktikan, abah dan mama memang hebat. Aku hampir menangis mengenang lagu yang abah suka nyanyikan menjelangkan anniversary. Lagu dari Bee Gees First of May. Walaupun tarikh nikah abah adalah 1 April, dan lagu tersebut menggambarkan 1 May, tapi abah amat suka menyanyikannya. Kadang di rumah, kadang dalam kereta. Ianya masih tengiang-ngiang di telingaku. Suara abah amat merdu menyanyikan lagu itu.
Dari sebuah rumah sewa papan di Kg Paya Dalam ke sebuah banglo 2 tingkat di Mentakab. Dari sebuah ford buruk ke Mahindra Scorpio, kasih abah pada mama tetap bersemi. Walaupun bukan setiap hari terungkap dengan kata-kata, tetapi sayang abah kepada mama tidak pernah kurang.
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
We used to love while others used to play.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
Some one else moved in from far away.
[Chorus:]
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
And you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
But guess we'll cry come first of May.
The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
The day I kissed your cheek and you were mine.
[Chorus]
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
Do do do do do do do do do,
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
Some one else moved in from far away.
