Happy Mother's Day

When you were young

They spent a lot of time teaching you the correct way to use the cutlery

You've been taught to wear your clothes, tie the shoelace or button in a proper way

They taught you to clean your face and comb your hair

They taught all the doctrines of being a human

Do you remember that you had always asked them where did you come from?

Therefore...

When they grow older one day

Or when they couldn't remember a particular thing or are slow in speaking

Do not put the blame on them

When they tend to forget how to tie the shoelace or button

When they get their clothes stained while having meals

When their hands start to tremble as they are combing

Please do not nudge them and be patient

Because they are growing older each day when you're growing stronger

By the time when you appear in their eyes

They will always feel warm and contented

If there's one day when they are unable to stand still or can't even make a move

Please hold their hands tightly in your hands and walk along with them

Just like...

How they had once held your hands when you were young

Mom, Happy Mother's Day!
