Original Submission by Natasha Jeffrie

HERO

Bekerja tanpa kenal erti penat,

Usianya makin meningkat,

Sakitnya makin melarat,

Tapi katanya ia masih kuat.

Ia tidak pernah mengeluh,

Tidak suka merungut,

Tidurnya tidak pernah cukup,

Demi menyara keluarga.

Hatinya luas seperti alam semesta,

Penuh dengan kasih dan cinta,

Jiwanya kental sepeti tentera,

Ia adalah hero keluarga.

Keringat serta air mata,

Penat juga lelah,

Sakit dan luka,

Dia adalah seorang ayah.
