Anakmu Bukan Anakmu May 31, 2008

Ditengah maraknya berita perceraian, “cinta boleh saja sudah berhenti, tetapi tanggung jawab sebagai orang yang telah menghadirkan mereka di dunia ini belum berakhir”.

Dikala segelintir orang demikian mahir mengekspoitasi (baca: merusak) alam, “kita bukan mewarisi alam kepada anak cucu kita, melainkan sedang meminjam dari mereka”.

Inspirasi bagi semua orang tua dalam rangka Hari Kanak-kanak Sedunia, sebuah tembang legendaris dari Whitney Houston

Greatest Love of All

by Whitney Houston

I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be

Everybody’s searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone’s shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I lived as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone’s shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I lived as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

And if by chance, that special place
That you’ve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
