The poems praising mother are as follows:
1. "Paper Boat - Send to Mother"
Bing Xin.
I never abandon a piece of paper.
Always keep it - keep it,
fold it into a small boat,
throw it from the boat into the sea.
Some were blown into the windows of the boat by the wind,
Some were wetted by the waves and stuck to the bow of the boat.
I still fold them every day without getting discouraged,
I always hope to have one.
It can flow to where I want it to go.
Mother,
If you see a small white boat in your dream,
don’t be surprised that it came into your dream for no reason.
This is what your beloved daughter folded with tears in her eyes,
Thousands of rivers and mountains,
May it carry her love and sorrow back home!
2. "Poem to Mother"
Bing Xin.
Mother, I have wanted to write a poem for you for a long time.
But after writing it many times,
I still haven’t finished it.
Mother, I wrote this poem for you.
I don’t know how to start,
I don’t know how to end,
I don’t know what to write,
Just Like a harsh slap to your face when you were a child.
I don’t know whether I should accept it bravely,
or choose to escape,
Mother, I think of you again tonight,
I decided to write a poem for you after all.
Even if the writing is not good,
Even if you are far away in your hometown,
you will never be able to read...
Mother, If you see a small white boat in your dream,
Don't be surprised that it fell into the dream for no reason.
This is written by your beloved daughter with tears in her eyes,
Thousands of rivers and mountains, begging him to carry her love and sorrow back home.
