(In memory of my parents)
I can still hear how you said it
I remember I never liked it
Calling me "Pen" really?
I used to think it's silly
But writing my Biography
Today just reminded me
What you really meant
More than a tool in my hand
Did you know one day I'd write
Trying to spread some light
In a dark and evil world
That has grown cold
Or is it just because it Rhyme
With my Christian Name
Either way I grew fonder
And I can't help but wonder
Could it have been prophetic
Because all the boxes tick
For today your "Pen" writes
Till the late hours of night
*Mom and Dad used to call me "Pen"
Some of my cousins too... And one of my nieces is also calling me "Pen"
Oh well and so I write
