SONG OF A TRAVELING SON
The thread in the hand of a loving mother,
For the garment of her departing son.
Carefully she sews stitch by stitch,
In fear of his delayed return.
How much of his little love,
Like tiny sprouting grass,
Can repay her radiant love,
Like warm sunshine of spring?
[Song of a Traveling Son][Fairy of the Magpie Bridge][Chinese
Valentine's Day]
