The Heritage

The Heritage

Big houses and large gardens
Our existence was good
Life was very pleasant
But the disturbance was rude

When independence came
To Holland we had to move
A country quite ignorant
So we were not at all amused

We arrived at Rotterdam on 31 of May
Today fifty three years ago
It was a cold and foggy day
As the Sibajak moored at Dutch shore

They waited for us at the quai
Dad's parents and Oom Cher
To give us a hearty hail
A comforting moment to share

It took us some time to adapt
The heritage is treasured
An annual visit to the Pasar Malam
It is still a great pleasure
