MOTHER’S LOVE

In this warm night, just when I prepare to go to bed

I found out an old obsolete red covered photo album

I opened it gently, it’s my mom’s marriages photos, in each pages

From before I came into your life, I smiled seeing your cheerful smile in your past

Time has been going on, perhaps there won’t be another such period to re-happened

Though your beautiful face on that time has changed to exhaust,

Your cheerful smile is sparkling when you are crying in heart

Though your white smooth hand on that time has changed to roughed and wrinkled,

Those hands strongly keep nurturing and care for me every time

Though your slim body on that time has been untaken care now,

In your weary perspiration, your spirit keeps blazing like an eternal fire

With your hard-working spirit, you teach me how to survive through this life

With your each wise words, you continually support me, sharing your experiences

With a slight smile in the middle of this life’s affliction you show me how happy you are to have me

With your fingers grasp, you pour me with the awesome strength in the middle of this challenge way

With your warmest embrace you tell me “You are having me here”

With each prays and wishes of yours, my name is always there to be hoped lucky and happy

With your cries you hope me to endure this pain, in your laughs you wish for my bliss

Mother’s love, is a sun that always radiantly shining earth

Though I repeatedly betray you

Mother’s love, is a pure bud which always create another new better days

Though I just can give you cries and sadness so far

Mother’s love, like an angel with unlimited loves to show

Though I sometimes rebuke you in my anger

Mother’s love, like a water that never stop flowing to continue this life

Though I myself unlikely you, have run away to be predestined to be a mother

Mother’s love, as wide as the mountain ranges, as far as the eyes can see

Though I always disappoint you in each neglects of mine

With your gracious charm, you always stand by my side

Even though just a  word of “Thank you” has not been conveyed in years

There is a reflection in this night while watching you sleeping in fatigue

Even though just a word of “Sorry” is never told after I hurt you

I know that you would never let me down like the endless flowers bloom

Mother’s love, so sweet, pure, eternal like a garden in heaven

I’m crying silently in this deep midnight of regret and musing

In the middle of this raging feelings and life’s pain

Mom, I need you always, like the earth with its nature inside

Mom, forgive me always, like a tender angel who welcomes the glory morning

Mom, I thank you always, you are the most depth treasure part in my life

Mom, it’s unexpressed by sequenced words, how much I respect you truly from my heart

Enclosed a prayer in this poem to you for your health, lucky and happiness

Any things won’t be enough to be presented for my gold hearted mom

I’m willing to be better in my future days, mom, I love you ……… (10/08/05)
