慈母手中線 遊子身上衣
臨行密密縫 意恐遲遲歸
誰言寸草心 報得三春暉
孟郊
On the new cloak perchance
I see her nimble little hands,
Needles and threads dancing
Fast on her seamstress fingers.
My departure came so sudden
That she rushed to sew and knit
Late into the night a garment new.
Ready for her son’s trip tomorrow.
Ah back home soon her words are few.
I search my soul and ask myself
How much does a mother’s love worth ?
A child couldn’t even come up with anything that matches one minute bit of hers!
