 Eonian ~

Crossing the railroad

Walking along d paddy fields 

Coming across frogs n toads

Beneath the hill

There lies my grandma's house

Way down south

Magnificently 

In the break of morning 

Hearing the birds chirping 

By grandma's balcony

Brought a sense of melancholy 

So many stories

So many memories 

Grandma n Ma chatting n laughing 

Was a melody 

Both Baffling n enchanting 

Uttered with layers of sincerity

A welcome voice

A welcome noise 

Greeting them both

Wasn't something i loathe

For love was abundant 

And always resplendent 

Brightening d day

Making me feeling gay

Donning singlet n Wearing sarong 

Having lunch sitting crossed legged

Never made me feel wrong

Though there was only rice n eggs that were salted

Everything tasted delicious 

While Chatting of nothing malicious 

Though grandma n ma are no longer here

Seven years to be precise n clear

Thoughts of them never fail to bring me happiness 

And now my aunt n uncle continue the heritage 

Of humour n liveliness

Just like grandma's parentage

The wooden house still stands 

Albeit here n there a little dent

The paddy field still remains 

Though machine ploughs the land

But d kampung dishes

And the river abundant fishes

Will Live long and hopefully 

Eternally
