THE STORY OF AN AVIATOR'S KID
by: Dita Azka Nadhira
I have a picture that I drew
About my dad as a flight crew
Behind him, there’s the Airbus A320
The one that he flies almost everyday tirelessly
He sometimes has to go very early in the morning
To take the very first flight of the day
Or he might go just before evening
And go back home very late which was not okay
People think that I’ve been to many place
Just because my dad is an aviator
But they are wrong in some ways
And after I’d explained too much to them why I’m not
it feels like I’m a prater
The best day ever is when he had his day-off on holiday
So then my family can have a day-out before the arrival of the stressful Monday
We usually go out to watch movies or to have dinner
Or sometimes we compete in badminton and see who’ll be the winner
Before he goes to the airport to take the flight
We always pray to Allah he’ll be all right
I realized how hard it is to be like my father
So I have to make him happy by making myself better
