The poet changes his identity from time to time in his poetry collections, sometimes as a naive child with naive language, and sometimes as a gentle charity mother. The poet described the pure heart of children in spiritual language and praised the most precious and pure thing in the world-innocence.
At the same time, I sincerely express my love for my children with deep maternal love. In the poem, I used clay figurine, patron saint, heart valve and other images to tell the mother's pity for her son. In the process of reading, I can deeply feel that mother's love is not only in words and expressions, but also deeply contained in mother's flesh and blood, soul and even life.
This poem expresses a dialogue between two people. The child's words are only one sentence: "Where do I come from? Where did you pick me up? " The rest is the confession of the mother's heart. Every child will ask his mother such a question when he is conscious. Although the mother's expression form and content are different, its connotation is self-evident-the child is a part of her body, soul and life, and it is an inseparable part.

Beginnings is a poem about maternal love written by Tagore and included in Birds. The original poem is as follows:
"You, where do I come from? Where did you pick me up? " The child asked his mother.
She held the child tightly to her chest, half crying and half laughing and replied-
"You have been hidden in my heart by me as a wish, my baby.
"You once existed in the clay doll I played when I was a child; Every morning, I make my idol out of clay. At that time, I repeatedly shaped and crushed you.
"You are worshipped with the patron saint of our family, and I worship you when I worship the family god.
"You live in all my hopes and love, in my life and in my mother's life.
"On the knee of the immortal soul that dominates our family, you have been raised for many generations.
"When I was a girl, the petals of my heart opened, and you were like a flower fragrance.
"Your tenderness has blossomed on my young limbs, just like the dawn in the sky before the sun comes out.
"The first darling of heaven, the twin brother of dawn, you floated down from the stream of life in the world and finally anchored in my heart.
"When I stared at your face, mystery flooded me; You belong to everyone, but you have become mine.
"For fear of losing you, I held you tightly in my chest. What magic brought the treasure of this world into my little arms? "
