To My Mother
 
Mother is the greatest person in the world,
But she often sheds tear for us,
Smiles because of us,
And feels proud of us.

When we are small and young,
We get sick frequently,
It's mom who takes care of us day and night,
When we keep crying she usually feels sad too.

When we are happy and healthy,
Playing around the yard,
With lovely and innocent smiles on our faces,
Mom would smile whole-heartedly.

When we gradually grow up,
Be able to make a living on our own,
And become a part of society,
Mom will feel proud of our achievement.
