A Tale Of Holiday

Everyone was suppose to be happy when it comes to holiday,
In every family they have been waiting long for this,
Though some might won't enjoy more than just a laughter,
It is still a holiday where each member can gather together,
A house that never been so merry,
All fill with happiness where neighbours can sense from far,
Wishing the very same thing but join their happiness as well.

It does not matter which holiday it was meant to be,
As long as i can see my sister and dad in the same couch with my mom,
They share the moment together and i fill in the empty seat,
No work to be talked about but just their own funny memories,
It is shared among us and we keep it as a part of our memory as well,
But it is more within the moment that we share at that time.

But as we were starting to be further away from each other,
Even holiday couldn't even bring us together,
I starting to miss the old way of life,
Where we just living in a modest life,
As soon as the word money grasp each hand,
They start to forget the sweet holiday that lies within.

We don't see that much laughter anymore,
My mom was suppose to rest from cooking,
It is time she had the taste of her daughter's cooking,
But then it all turns the other way round,
It breaks my heart to see my sisters way,
While my dad keeps demanding some impossible and tiring stuff.

Late night i share my mom's thoughts,
She wanted to have a holiday where everyone would gather around,
Just like it used to be,
But now everything seems impossible,
She waited at home and still doing the same thing like she does everyday.

In her thoughts she just wanted to eat outside,
Feel the luxury that her daughter just gain,
If it only a new dress and eating clamp with her daughters,
While dad will buy her anything that she wants,
So she could actually feel appreciate to her family,
But then it was nothing like that.

We seem to forget a lot nowadays,
As i watch my family falling apart,
I try to fix it with all my might,
It didn't matter how hurt i was supposed to feel,
But i just want them to remember what it was like before,
So no more the tears that are invisible to this old eyes.


P/S : I was inspired from my previous holiday that i spend with my sister in KL and it made me realize the thing that cause disaster in the next 5 or 10 years. Who knows.
