Bing Xin’s three shortest poems about maternal love are as follows:
1. "Paper Boats Send to Mother One by One"
I never abandon a piece of paper Always keep them - keep them, fold them into small boats, and throw them into the sea.
Some were blown into the windows of the boat by the wind, and some were wetted by the waves and stuck to the bow of the boat.
I am still not discouraged, folding my arms every day, always hoping that one of them will flow to where I want it to go. Mother, if you see a small white boat in your dream, don’t be surprised. It is for no reason. In the dream, this is the thousands of rivers and mountains where your beloved daughter is crying, asking it to carry her love and sorrow back home.
2. "Poem to Mother"
Mother, I have wanted to write a poem for you for a long time. But after writing it many times, I still didn’t get it right.
Mother, I wrote this poem for you. I don’t know how to begin, how to end, or what to write, just like when I was a child and faced your severe slap.
I don’t know whether to accept it bravely or choose to escape. Mother, I think of you again tonight, and I decided to write a poem for you.
Even if the writing is not good, even if you are far away in your hometown, you will never be able to read it...
Mother, if you see a small white boat in your dream, Don't be surprised that he fell into Yinbian's dream for no reason.
This is what your beloved daughter put together with tears in her eyes, begging him to carry her love and sorrow back home through thousands of rivers and mountains.
3. "Mother"
Mother! When the storm comes in the sky, the bird hides in its nest; when the storm comes in my heart, I only hide in your arms.
