Yesterday's mothers:
Soaked in rain, sunburned,
Hands in mud, feet in dirt,
In fog, in winds,
Peddling
Struggling
Without complaint
Not minding anything.
They worked in sweat
Their clothes in rags
Their body exhausted
Shedding their tears
Pinching every penny
Watching over their children growth.
Our eternal love
To you mothers.
Today's mothers:
All day long busy,
Fixing their hair with one hand
Putting on lipstick with the other.
In stylish clothing
In their glimmering cars.
Early in the morning
They rush to the kitchen
Make breakfast for the kids
Drive them to school.
In breathless hurry
They now get to work
All kinds of jobs, any thing
A man can do.
A pilot
A janitor
A CEO
A lawyer
A doctor
An engineer
A singer
A cosmetician.
Back home with the kids
They get them do homework
They teach them music
They straighten their manners
While with one hand
They cook dinner
And clean the house
With the other.
Deep in their mind
Always shine bright
Their kids' futures
That makes them smile.
Our everlasting love
To you mothers.
