Mom! The wind and rain came, and the birds hid in the nest; The storm in my heart is coming, so I can only hide in your arms. What does this little poem mean?

This poem describes the love, memory and yearning for mother.

It says in front that the storm of nature is coming, and birds return to their nests to shelter from the rain. Writing "The storm in my heart is coming" at the back refers to the unpleasant and even painful emotions caused by setbacks in life. "I only hide in your arms", my heart was hit. I confided to my mother for comfort.

Similarly, through the association and analogy between "the wind and rain in the sky" and "the wind and rain in the heart", "bird" and "me", "nest" and "bosom", it is emphasized that the mother's arms will always be a safe haven for children, eulogizing the warmth and greatness of maternal love.
