And Then ... Kookkaburra Died

~ Mbah MD - Old Gum Tree ~

Siang itu surya berapi sinarnya
Tiba-tiba redup langit kelam
Hati yang bahagia terhentak s'ketika
Malapetaka seakan meny'linap

Berita menggelegar aku terima
CUCU K%K berpulang 'tuk selamanya
Hancur luruh rasa jiwa dan raga
Tak percaya tapi nyata

Kapan lagi kita kan BERS'PEDA
Kapan lagi bermanja
Kapan lagi nyanyi bersama lagi
Kapan oh kapan lagi?

Tiada ... tiada K%K lagi ...

Mbah nggak mau larut dalam kesedihan, bukankah, seperti yang dikatakan oleh Bruce B. Wilmer, "each chapter that is ending leads us to a new beginning?"

New Beginnings

Each chapter that is ending
Leads us to a new beginning.
The past that we are leaving
Means a future we are winning.

Each change that fills the present
Sets the stage for our tomorrow.
And how we meet each challenge
Helps determine joy or sorrow.

In every new beginning
Spirit plays a vital part.
We must approach tomorrow
With a strong and steady heart.

So as we turn the corner
Let’s all apprehension shed
And fill our hearts with confidence
As we proceed ahead.

~ Bruce B. Wilmer ~
