Bob Marley on LOve

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.” ― Bob Marley

Sajak: Bersatulah Melayu ~ Associate Prof. Dr. Lim Swee Tin

Bersatulah Melayu 


Kalau nampak ada retak

Kerana retak hujungnya belah

Bimbang belah membawa pecah

Melayu itu tak mampu berpecah



Bersatulah Melayu

Melayu itu cermin

Dalam jernihnya kita menilik

Kita menilik mencari wajah

Wajah Melayu wajah kita



Bersatulah Melayu

Melayu itu lampu

Terangi jalan luas terbentang

Siapa cuba kaburkan suluh

Kelak hilang arah dan tuju



Bersatulah Melayu

Melayu itu payung

Payung jangan carik

Carik payung

Manakan lagi tempat berlindung



Bersatulah Melayu

Melayu itu pohon

Akarnya mencengkam bumi

Bumi ini pautan kasih

Kasih Melayu segala kasih



Bersatulah Melayu

Cari dan rangkalah jalan damai

Damai membuka pintu pertemuan

Pertemuan kelak merintis padu

Berpadulah Melayu, berpadu semua.
