            A Tribute to Mother
The threads in the hands of a loving mother,
          The clothes on the back of a traveling son.
Tightly and swiftly she sews before his departure,
          Fearing her delay may keep him late from return.
But how could the grateful heart of a tiny grass,
          Ever repay the warm sunshine of the spring sun?
