Love From The Poets
It all occurred after I flew to Taiwan. The
tranquility that laid in the middle of the night, when I flew to Taiwan for the
very first time, attempted to provide me comforts as I stared fixedly with
softness at the back of my beloved sleeping father from my soft bed. Holding on
to the tears that were about to stream down my cheeks, I closed my eyes without
any hesitation.
“Thank you, father.” I thought to myself
instantly. The act of him flying from Singapore to ensure my first time
settling down in a foreign country for educational purposes meant everything to
me. It was something I would not dare to forget, especially the devoted
emotional support and care that he showed by making such an effort.
All of a sudden, memories caved in on me while I
laid in bed, flooding my mind mercilessly with overwhelming emotions. Five years
ago, both my parents unfortunately lost their jobs as COVID-19 struck with mere
brutality, putting us in a dire situation to the extent that I was unable to
afford two years of school fees. Money was like a blade, it
either saved my family’s future or gradually obliterated every piece of it. One
of the most remarkable memories that sealed deeply in my mind was my mother
hugging me tightly and sobbing heavily due to the weights of burdens she was
compelled to carry throughout the years. The immense impact that the
intimidating pandemic had on us drained my mother ruthlessly, suffocating her
from time to time and impelling her to bottle up overwhelming emotions. Life
might be difficult; however, resisting the perpetuated pressures
unanticipatedly was far more challenging.
Despite the appalling misery that had fallen upon
my family, they both fought so hard in order to become my sister’s and my very
last hope in life. They endlessly worked from day to night so we could maintain
a steady financial situation. It was their robust resilience that had saved me
from this insufferable agony. The effort they have put into taking care of me
is such a blessing to me, and I honestly believe that I own them a lot.
“Of all
acts of goodness, first and foremost is filial piety.” Upon discovering this
Jing Si Aphorism, it was the moment I realized that my parents' love was
utterly innumerable. Believing in this act of filial piety, I am willing to
fulfill it. While I may not yet have a clear sense of purpose in life, one thing
I am certain of is my commitment to taking excellent care of my parents once I
graduate.
Everything that
they have done for my sister and I is astounding, filling me up with unlimited
love and support. I truly
appreciate the selfless act of love they are portraying wholeheartedly, and I
am extremely grateful to have them as my parents. Though life may be
insurmountable, it is the immeasurable love that ultimately conquers it,
leading us to a prosperous future. My parents are just like poets who are possessed of
the capability of transforming torments into bliss, touching my heart and mind.
So as poets, they are capable of conveying complex emotions and thoughts
through their extraordinary poetry.
“I truly love my poets.”
