Mother

(Dedicated to my worthy Mother)

Oh, Mother,

The attire of your handmade stitches

Is more precious to me than branded clothes,

Oh, Mother,

The bread of your hand with butter

Is more delicious than the buffet of a five-star hotel,

Oh, Mother,

The shelter of your arms

Is more secure than foolproof security,

Oh, Mother,

A ride on your back

Is better than a business class airplane,

Oh, Mother,

Your lullaby is more serene

Reciting verses from the holy book,

Oh, Mother,

Your consolation is more comforting

Success with flying colors,

Oh, Mother,

I am nothing without you,

I feel suffocated,

Please, once again,

Let me tightly hug you,

Let me kiss your wrinkled feet,

Let me be close to your chest,

Let me hold you as you held me in winter,

Oh, my lovely Mother,

Oh, my worthy Mother.
