Make You Proud

By Randy Lim

They met while they were fifteen

One was smart and clean

The other loud and mean

So the years pass and went

But the love never bend

In fact it grew, just like wine

And they got married and everything was fine…

Three years gone,

And the son was born

Happy, they shout out loud

”Be a good man, and do your parents proud!”

5 years pass, nothing changed

A family with just enough loose change

Don’t be sad, thats what i hear

But never a day he was without a beer…

Who’s to blame i hear you say?

I wouldn’t say, but i’ll make them pay

When the day comes, you better hope and pray

30 years pass, its still the same

Sometimes i would hang in shame

Never a day, without money issues

All i could do was pass her some tissues..

”When I grow up, i’ll buy you that mansion”

I proclaim

35 years pass, with nothing to show

But they say just go slow

Cause everyone will demand quid pro quo

So i hope that they could wait

But such is fate…

He went through the gate

She cried, and i knew it was just too late

1 year have pass since that fateful date

We wake up at dawn, with a lazy yawn

But i swear to you i’ll be a swan…

Love Always,

Randy
