Mother's Day

Nen wrote a poem for me in his Chinese class. The teacher said that it was so beautiful that she read it to everyone and will save it for future generations. Here it is, with the translation:

媽媽的微笑像彩虹一樣,
把下雨天趕走了

媽媽煮飯像皇家廚師一樣,
又香又美味

媽媽的眼睛像太陽一樣,從東邊升起
帶來新的一天

媽媽的頭髮像絲一樣,
又好看又珍貴

媽媽的聲音像音樂盒一樣,
清脆又好聽,讓我覺得很安心

媽媽的手像發明家一樣,
變出各種各樣的好東西

Mom's smile is like a rainbow,
That chases away the rainy day.

Mom cooks like a royal chef,
Fragrant and delicious.

Mom's eyes are like the sun, rising in the east,
Bringing a new day.

Mom's hair is like silk,
Beautiful and precious.

Mom's voice is like a music box,
Crisp and sweet, makes me feel at ease.

Mom's hands are the inventor,
That conjures up all good things.
