Mother Heart | Lòng Mẹ

Author: Y Vân | A Water-Moon Edition

Mother Heart’s vast... like the Pacific Ocean...

Mother’s Love—ever-flowing, a stream of devoted affection,

a brook of tender sweetness.

Her lullaby—warm and gentle—

a murmuring breeze

drifting across the rice meadows...

Mother Heart for her children—

a full autumn moon, radiant and whole.

Mother’s Love—gently playful,

a spring breeze across the water.

Her lullaby singing like colorful kites

in a serene country sky.

Through rain and shine,

through day and night,

she shares in the joy of her children’s song.

Many long nights, Mother stays up

with loving, tender care

till her sick child falls asleep.

She feels so happy

seeing him in tranquil slumber.

Mother's Love endures the months and years.

The hardships of life, its ups and downs,

she will shoulder them all and take care of her children

till they are fully grown.

Mother's Love leads the moon to listen with devotion.

Her singing touches rivers, meadows, and mountains.

The world's in peace when Mother sings her lullaby.

Heart filled with love, her voice is sweet music to her child.

Many years, loving tears have fallen…

Mother's hair has turned almost white.

Wherever you go—this morning or tonight,

wherever you are in the course of your life,

remember Mother's Love

and the joy of returning to her side..
