Teacher Intan Poem Collection Vol. 2

I had an inspiration to write this poem as I was babysitting both of my cute nieces, Auliya and Nuha. When I saw them playing together happily, I finally realized that my world is indeed perfect, as long as they exist in it.. :) 

IN INTAN’S PERFECT LITTLE WORLD

In Intan’s perfect little world

the sky is always blue and the sun shines brightly

the weather is cool and snow comes occasionally

rainbows are everywhere and at night, the stars glimmer beautifully

In Intan’s perfect little word

there’s no greed, apathy and jealousy

family bonds are sturdy and friends are aplenty

and everyone there is just purely and genuinely happy

In Intan’s perfect little world

nobody knows about the ‘idiot box’ called the television

which kills imagination, free will or even the feeling of compassion

by putting false stereotyped ideas which creates animosity and aggression

In Intan’s perfect little world

there is no prickly feeling of pain or sudden swelling feet and she’ll never wheeze

every time she wants to move or just merely breathe

because the word ‘pain’ or ‘illness’ or ‘disease’ just do not exist

In Intan’s perfect little world

she is strong enough to walk everywhere or just sit down to read under a tree

to watch Auliya and Nuha play, laugh and just being carefree

while she lies on her back and naps peacefully

In Intan’s perfect little world

she knows her parents will stop to worry

and her siblings will not feel any form of anxiety

because she will always be forever happy, jovial and healthy…
