MOTHER
Even a sigh feels very happy
Even a tear brings a laugh
Defeat becomes success
There, if my mother is with me.
It won’t any murmur
It won’t any suffer
Well-being will be close to me
There, if my mother is with me.
It feels I’m alive
Affliction is gone, seems a far cry from me
Fortune brings near to me
There, if my mother is with me.
FATHER
You’ve been a Dad to me,
Suffering in this existence
I’ve been a daughter to you,
Even if I’m unable to write any poems,
The” love” in my heart about you Dad
If I take it out and put it into the Ocean……….
Definitely the Ocean will begin to overflow
By reason of my strong love for you Dad……..
HUSBAND
Through the moonlight
At the riverside,
It’s your face on the moon………….
It comes, your smell through pinking air into my sight,
The moon comes through the Mountains,
Always calling me to come closer……….
Though, I have been given my whole life with you.
SON
I never felt such happiness……
I Delivered you that day……….
I saw your face and I forgot every pain………
And you brought me every happiness to my life……
That’s my “LOVE” to you my loving son………………
