Mother's day

The kindness of both parents is profound and deep

Their care and devotion never cease

Never resting, the mother saves the sweet for the child

And without complaint the swallows the bitter herself

Her love is weighty and her emotion difficult to bear

her kindness is deep and so is her compassion

Only wanting the child to get its fill

The compassionate mother doesn't speak of her own hunger
