游子吟

游子吟
唐朝诗人孟郊

慈母手中线，游子身上衣。
临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归。
谁言寸草心，报的三春辉。

讲解：母亲用手中的针线为出远门的儿子缝制衣服。临行的时候，母亲一针一线密密地缝着，把衣服缝得结结实实，惟恐儿子久久在外，无人给他缝补。母亲对子女的爱，如春天的阳光使小草得以生长一样，做子女的又怎么报答得了母亲的恩情？

English translation:
Poem written by Meng Jiao (751-814, Tang Dynasty)
Loving him, the mother takes thread in hand;
Leaving her, he’ll have this coat on his shoulders.
Now that he’s about to go, she mends with fine, fine stitches;
She knows the fear that he’ll be gone a long, long time.
Who would say the heart of a tiny blade of grass
Could repay the sun for all the warmth of spring?

I personally think that the chinese explaination is more touching haha :D I dedicated this photo to all parents who put in all their heart and soul to nurture their children. Feel the kindness towards our parents today :)
