Worried

Last night when I stayed over at JY's I slept early and my phone was switched to silent.
When I woke up I saw one missed call from home.
I didn't think much about it.
When I reached home this morning.
My mum asked me in a rather shocking tone:
"Why didn't you pick up your phone last night (in Chinese)"
I just replied that it was switched to silent mode.
Now that I wonder about it,
it's not the first time I've not picked up my phone,
neither is it the first time I've not return home without informing.
In fact, that's always the case.

Changing a perspective,
have they been worried all these while whenever I've failed to pick up their call or even return home at night?
Or is it just because there's been too many hacking cases nowadays in Singapore that they're starting to feel insecure about our society?

Either way, they're not the main point.

I realize they really care about me.
Even now when I'm old enough to shoot down an enemy when the time calls for;
I'm still a child to them, and I always will be.

So what if I'm a Red Beret Trooper,
So what if I'm a Commando;
To them,
I'm just a child.

And I enjoy being the last one most.
I hope I'll always get to be.
