Modern Poetry Appreciation: Dedicated to My Mother

The sound of rain is pouring,

The rain in mid-spring keeps falling,

It fills my heart with longing.

Rain, rain, are you also beating?

In the distance

The barren hills covered with lush weeds,

And that Under the barren ridge

A lonely tomb?

Buried in this grave

My mother,

also lies asleep

The kindest heart of mankind.

Ah, mother——

I have watched you since I can remember

From morning to night

< p> From winter to spring

There is always something to do.

Stoves, pig pens, vegetable gardens,

Housekeeping, laundry, twining...

Such hard work

< p> I also have to go to the production team to earn work points.

Ah, mother——

Even the oxen plowing the fields has a time to breathe,

And you are like a mill

For the sake of the whole family His livelihood

keeps spinning.

Finally one day

You became sick from overwork

On a drizzly evening

You finished your life with difficulty.

And at this moment, my mother——

Here

In mid-spring when the endless drizzle is as thin as silk,

Is there anyone there? Hold an umbrella for you?

Can someone hand you a dry towel?

Yes

You never think about yourself,

Never ask your children to do anything to you

Just like usual

p>

Worrying endlessly about my children!

In that hot summer,

You ignored the fatigue at home and in the fields

No matter it was sunny or cloudy

You took a banana fan ,

For those of us sleeping on straw mats

while singing children’s songs

while driving away mosquitoes and flies.

In that cold winter,

In that time of material scarcity,

You didn’t understand us

We got your clothes wet

Use dry cotton wool and suck it.

Then stick it close to your body.

This is great and selfless

The temperature of maternal love!

Life is so poor,

But, mother--

You are not stingy because of the poverty of life

When the family is well-off Food

You always have to serve a bowl to Grandma Wang next door

You said: She has no children and no female monsters.

Our village

There are hundreds of people in our village.

Whenever a family brings in new people

, you are always there to deliver the baby.

Which child has a minor ailment

Your earthwork is always very effective.

But, at this moment, my mother——

Your passionate heart

Do you feel lonely in this misty rainy day?

And deserted?

Who will keep you company?

Who can take away my thoughts of you?

In addition to the whimpering mountain breeze

Or the sad birdsong?

Ah, mother——

The mother who carries the focus of a difficult life

You have the deepest experience of the sweetness of life

After dinner

p>

Clean the tables, stools, dishes and chopsticks

Do needlework under the oil lamp

Quietly accompany us doing homework

You said,

This is the happiest moment of your day.

You are illiterate,

but you like to look through our textbooks

Gently dip your fingers in saliva

One page at a time Page carefully

At this time, your weather-beaten face

is filled with a happy and happy smile.

Ah——

You love us so deeply,

But you are so severe to us——

Of course We stuffed the keyhole of Aunt Chen’s house with mud, as if we had made Qingqing, the daughter of Aunt Zhang’s house, cry.

But when we are bullied by arrogant big boys

You force us to reason with you if we are timid,

You say that we have been bullied since childhood

As you grow older, your spine becomes less stiff.

Ah, my virtuous and resolute mother——

You fed us with sweet milk,

You explained with your simple life:

p>

Be a serious person

Do things down-to-earth

Created our pure souls.

Ah, my beloved mother,

When you use——

The hand that does farm work

The hand that holds the spatula< /p>

The hands that do needlework and laundry...

Finally brought us up

But you worry about overwork and become seriously ill.

You are gone, mother

On that tragic rainy evening,

You did not leave a word

complaining about the hardships of your life. .

You left

You left peacefully.

You are gone, mother

The thimble you used to mend clothes at home seems to still have the warmth of your palm.

In the drawer of the cabinet

There are still the reading glasses you wore during your lifetime.

However, in the morning

We can no longer hear your shouts of encouragement,

We can no longer eat lunch

Your specialty fish cake.

Ah, mother

You are just an ordinary housewife.

During your lifetime, you never received any praise

You have not even had a photo taken. A formal photo.

After death, you will lie alone at the foot of the barren ridge

Only your children will remember your name

But, mother

Without a suffering mother like you, how could there be so many happy families in the motherland?

The sound of rain fell,

The rain kept falling

It filled my heart with longing.

Mother, do you know?

This is not rain

This is my son’s tears

May it make the flowers at your tomb red and the grass green

The little poem I wrote with tears

can serve as an epitaph for your life.
