IBU (Selamat Hari Ibu)

Ibu

Mereka bilang hari ini hari mu

Hari dimana mereka mengingat akan jasamu, pengorbananmu

Mereka menciptakan puisi-puisi  indah untuk mengenang pengabdianmu

Menangis, meratap setiap kesalahan masa lalu mereka

 

Ibu, tapi itu tidak bagiku

Harimu bukan hanya hari ini, bukan dulu, bahkan bukan nanti

Aku mengenangmu, mengingatmu juga bukan hanya hari ini

Jauh sebelum aku mampu berucap, sebelum aku mengenal dunia

Bagiku, harimu berawal sejak engkau menempahku menjadi manusia harapanmu

 

Ibu,

Dulu, dulu sekali, itu harimu

Sekarang, saat ini, detik ini, disetiap hembus nafasku, itu juga harimu

Nanti, esok hari, lusa dan seterusnya itu juga hari mu ibu

Setiap detik aku mengenangnya sebagai harimu

 

Ibu maafkan aku,

Karena aku takkan  pernah mampu membalas setiap detik pengorbanan

Setiap tetes keringatmu untuk hidupku

Setiap tetes airmata dipipimu untuk masa depanku

Setiap kesedihan yang menyelimuti hari-harimu

Karena senandung dosa yang sering ku dendangkan.

Karena kalammu yang sering tak kuhiraukan

 

Tapi ibu,

Apa yang membuatmu tak pernah berhenti berdoa untukku

Berdoa untuk orang yang selalu menyakiti dan melukai persaanmu

Ibu, ini  aku, buah hati yg tak tau diri.

Terimalah ungkapan maaf terdalam, terikhlas yang pernah terucap

 

Ibu,

Wahai engkau lentera ku,

Mengapa engkau tak pernah sejenak saja berhenti menerangiku

Hari berganti hari, bulan berganti bulan, bahkan matahari bertambah usia pun

Jiwamu takkan pernah lekang membingkai lahirku

  

Ibu, Aku sadar,

nyawa pun takkan mampu membalas pengorbananmu

ibu, ini bukan sekedar tulisan

Tapi rasa cinta dan sesal karena sikap dan sifatku

sikap dan sifat yang mencegah terbukanya pintu syurga

 

 Ibu, Cinta ini hanya untukmu

Cinta yg selalu ada didalam hatiku

Tidak dimulut, karena ku takut termuntahkan oleh ku

Tidak dibibir, karena ku takut bisu hingga cintaku tak mampu lagi menyuara

Tidak juga dimata, karena ku takut buta.

 

Ibu, tetaplah kau menyayangi ku

Ampuni senandung dosa yang selalu kudendangkan pada mu

Ibu tahukah  kau aku rindu

Ibu, aku juga masih ingat bantal tempat engkau menangis karena ku

Tempat engkau mencurahkan perasaan sedihmu karena ku

Tsunami Museum

The Tsunami Museum is of course a new attraction place in Aceh, located at Jl. Jendral Sudirman, near Blang Padang & Kerckhoff. It was officially opened in February 2009.
