Mom,
Can I only be a child?
If I were a bird,
Fly from the sea to the snow-capped mountains,
Hold the spray for you.
Hold a snowflake for you.
If I were a small tree,
It roared into the sky,
Pick a rosy cloud for you,
Choose a star for you.
If I were a marigold,
It's on your desk all year round,
Leave a beam of sunshine for you,
Save a spring for you.
however
I can only be a child,
I can only say to you every day:
Mom, I love you.
