I'm five years old
It's getting cold
I've got my big coat on
I hear your laugh
And look up smiling at you
I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch
And the tractor rides
Look now -- the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep
On the way home
I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day
With you today
I'm thirteen now
And don't know how my friends
Could be so mean
I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys
And we drive and drive
Until we've found a town
Far enough away
And we talk and window-shop
Until I've forgotten all their names
I don't know who I'm gonna talk to
Now at school
I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day
With you today
I have an excellent father
His strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother
Inside and out
He's better than I am
I grew up in a pretty house
And I had space to run
And I had the best days with you
There is a video
I found from back when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen
And you're talking to me
It's the age of princesses and pirate ships
And the seven dwarfs
Daddy's smart
And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
Now I know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side
Even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
Staying back and watching me shine
And I didn't know if you knew
So I'm taking this chance to say
That I had the best day
With you today
*Masih buat papa. Sebenarnya ni semua wujud rasa penyesalan aku sama beliau. Abis kaya'nya beliau sedih karena kami sekeluarga nggak ngucapin selamat pas ultah yang tepat di minggu awal bulan ini.
Tapi, kami juga punya alasan atas semua ini (pembelaan diri). Kami bingung mau ngucapin, gimana nggak? papa tuh punya tiga hari ulang tahun.
yang pertama, hari ulang tahun yang dibilang sama Kakek dan Nenek papa yaitu 1 Muharram.
yang kedua tanggal di KTP, kalo nggak salah di Bulan Desember.
dan yang ketiga, yang di akte kelahiran, ijazah dll.
Siapa yang nggak bingung coba?--"
Pas papa bilang, "Tapi pas di Batam papa berharap setidaknya ada yang ngucapin gitu...." Nah, kata-kata inilah yang membuat batinku tertusuk (ceile...) beneran! Karena papa tuh biasanya cuek banget, tiba-tiba jadi gini aku jadi kayak ngerasa koq aku kaya' anak yang nggak berbakti banget yah?!
Kemarin pas kesel ma adik cowok aku-karena dia yang lebih memilih latihan bola daripada ngumpul keluarga-aku nyanyi lagu ini dan tiba-tiba jadi merenung sendiri. Taylor-unnie ajah nyiptain lagu buat papanya eh aku, malah kaya' nggak peduli ma ultah papa...
Karena itu, aku berjanji mulai sekarang untuk lebih patuh lagi sama Papa dan selalu berusaha bikin papa tuh seneng. Karena aku beruntung banget punya papa yang sayang sama aku, seperti apapun aku.
Love Papa
