Doa ibu adalah sebuah puisi
Yang dituliskan untuk anak
Yang hanya dibacakan
Kepada Tuhan
Apabila mengangkat tangan
Menyerah hati pada Takdir
Menyerah nasib pada Ketentuan
Menyerah hidup pada usaha
Anak tidak akan pernah mendengar
Puisi karya ibu
Bisik risau hatinya
Tatkala anak tidak pulang
Tatkala anak tidak makan
Tatkala anak tidak kenyang
Tatkala anak tidak sembahyang
Ibu adalah seorang penyair
Tintanya adalah keluh dan airmata
