For as long as I can remember
you have been by my side
to give me support
to give me confidence
to give me help

For as long as I can remember
you have always been the person I looked up to
so strong
so sensitive
so pretty

For as long as I can remember
and still today
you are everything a mother should be

For as long as I can remember
you have always provided stability within our family
full of laughter
full of tears
full of love

So much of what I have become
is because of you
and I want you to know
that I appreciate you, thank you
and love you
more than words can express


-Poem by Susan Polis Schutz

if i have chance,
i wanna be a good son
for my parents.
i would like to be a good person
for my friend.
if i have scope,
i want to be a good teacher
for my race , for my generations
and for my country.
i wanna dwell forever in my arakan state.
event i am away from,
my love is beside it.
whatever my love never possible
so as to forget entire Arakan State(Or Kingdom of Arakan).
