Looking at Mother - Poem by Le Anh Hoai

early spring

look at mom

see myself

and day

mother's story

immense

about wind, rain, earth, water

about people

I heard my mother's advice but did not understand.

The older you get, the more you understand your parents' feelings.

My child tears flow down

until tears know how to flow inside

winter just ended

My child, life is too long.

but short is too short

I went through a competitive youth

youth in a hurry

mother tried all her life

mother never knew how to roam

cold rainy day at the end of the year

old man looking at time

I look at mom

mother looking at the sky

in the misty vision

with mom

Your world is never finished.
