Ruang Baca Keluarga Rahmanda

Sejak jaman masih sekolah dulu aku selalu bermimpi punya perpustakaan sendiri. Dari Es-De nyicil ngumpulin buku satu-satu, ditata rapi di rak buku (yang kemudian diobrak-abrik dan disobek-sobek sama adikku yg itu yang vespanya warna putih itu).

Kepingin banget, suatu saat nanti di suatu sore yang sejuk, ditemani gemerisik angin yang menyapu dedaunan di halaman luar, aku duduk di sofa perpustakaanku. Tentu saja ditemani cookies buatan sendiri dan secangking kopi. Sesekali terdengar dari luar hebohnya suami dan anak-anakku yang baru saja selesai dengan "father's day nya".

Ah, memang saat ini itu masih mimpi. Tapi senang rasanya meniti jalan mewujudkannya.

Fine, let's get back to earth people... One of my plan dalam mewujudkan mimpi itu adalah membuat cap untuk buku-buku keluarga kami. Well, kenapa perlu cap? Karena, kadang kalo cuma nama tidak menjamin buku yang hilang bisa kembali :)) (padahal cap juga belum tentu sih). But, simply i just want to add something personal form our family.

Yap to make the story short, please welcome approved-design of our family library logo.

Bismillah, tinggal order cap-nya, terus mulai dicap deh buku-buku itu.

THE READING MOTHER

Strickland Gillilan
I HAD A MOTHER who read to me
Sagas of pirates who scoured the sea,
Cutlasses clenched in their yellow teeth,
“Blackbirds” stowed in the hold beneath
I had a Mother who read me lays
Of ancient and gallant and golden days;
Stories of Marmion and Ivanhoe,
Which every boy has a right to know.
I had a Mother who read me tales
Of Celert the hound of the hills of Wales,
True to his trust till his tragic death,
Faithfulness blent with his final breath.
I had a Mother who read me the things
That wholesome life to the boy heart brings-
Stories that stir with an upward touch,
Oh, that each mother of boys were such.
You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be –
I had a Mother who read to me.
