6.《My Mother Kept A Garden 》
Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky,
Hundreds of shells on the shore together,感恩党的话简短精辟
Hundreds of birds that go singing by,
Hundreds of lambs in the sunny weather.
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,But only one mother the wide world over.
The water of her womb, your first home
The body she pulled apart to welcome you to the world.The spirit in you she helped grow with all she knew.The heart that she gave you when yours fell apart.You are her soft miracle.
So she gave you her eyes to see the best in the worst.You carry your mother in your eyes.Make her proud of all she watches you do.
I learned from my mother how to
出差计划表love the living,
to have plenty of vases on hand
in case you have to rush to the
hospital
with peonies cut from the lawn,
black ants
still stuck to the buds.
I learned to save jars
large enough to hold fruit salad
for a wholeits的用法
grieving household, to cube home-
canned pears美女画像
and peaches, to slice through maroon grape skins
and flick out the sexual seeds with a knife point.军事训练板报
I learned to attend viewings even
if I didn’t know
the deceased, to press the moist
hands
of the living, to look in their
eyes and offer
sympathy, as though I understood
loss even then.
I learned that whatever we say
means nothing,
what anyone will remember is that
we came.
I learned to believe I had the
power to ease
awful pains materially like an
angel.
Like a doctor, I learned to create from another’s suffering my own
usefulness, and once
you know how to do this, you can
never refuse.
To every house you enter, you
must offer
healing: a chocolate cake you
baked yourself,
the blessing of your voice, your
chaste touch.
4.《A Practical Mom》by Amy Uyematsu
can go to Bible study every
Sunday
and swear she’s still not
convinced,
but she likes to be around
people who are.
We have the same conversation
every few years—I’ll ask her
if she stops
to admire the perfect leaves
of the Japanese maple
she waters in her backyard,
or tell her how I can gaze
for hours
at a desert sky and know this
as divine. Nature, she says,
doesn’t hold her interest.
Not nearly
as much as the greens, pinks,
and grays
of a Diebenkorn abstract, or
the antique
Tiffany lamp she finds in San
Francisco.
She spends hours with her
vegetables,
tasting the tomatoes she’s
picked that morning
or checking to see which radishes
are big enough to pull.
Lately everything she touches
bears fruit,
from new-green string beans to
winning
golf strokes, glamorous hats she
designs and sews,
soaring stocks with their
multiplying shares.
These are the things she can count
in her hands,
the tangibles to feed and pass on
to daughters
and grandchildren who can’t keep
up with all
the risky numbers she depends on,
the blood-sugar counts
and daily insulin injections, the
monthly tests
of precancerous cells in her liver
and lungs.
She’s a mathematical wonder with
so many calculations
kept alive in her head, adding
and subtracting
when everyone else is asleep.
5.《M – O – T – H – E – R》by Howard Johnson
“M” is for the million things
she gave me,
“O” means only that she’s
growing old,
“T” is for the tears she shed
to save me,
“H” is for her heart of purest
gold;
“E” is for her eyes, with
love-light shining,
“R” means right, and right she’ll
always be,
Put them all together, they spell “MOTHER,”
A word that means the world to me.
6.《My Mother Kept A Garden》
My Mother kept a garden,
a garden of the heart,
She planted all the good things
that gave my life it’s start.
母亲的诗She turned me to the sunshine
and encouraged me to dream,
Fostering and nurturing
the seeds of self-esteem…
And when the winds and rain came,
she protected me enough-
But not too much because she knew
I’d need to stand up strong and tough. Her constant good example
always taught me right from wrong-Markers for my pathway
that will last a lifetime long.
I am my Mother’s garden.
I am her legacy-
And I hope today she feels the love reflected back from me
