下列歌頌母親的好文章是誰寫的？
當你1歲的時候，她喂你並給你洗澡，而作為報答，你整晚哭著。
當你3歲的時候，她憐愛地為你做菜，而作為報答，你把一盤她做的菜扔在地上。
當你4歲的時候，她給你買下彩色筆，而作為報答，你塗滿了牆與飯桌。
當你5歲的時候，她給你買了既漂亮又貴的衣服，而作為報答，你穿上後到附近的泥坑去玩。
當你7歲的時候，她給你買了球，而作為報答，你把球投擲到鄰居的窗戶里。
當你9歲的時候，她付了很多錢給你輔導鋼琴，而作為報答，你常常曠課並且從不練習。
當你11歲的時候，她送你和朋友去電影院，而你要她坐到另一排去。
當你13歲的時候，她建議你去剪頭髮，而你說她不懂什麼是現在的時髦髮型。
當你14歲的時候，她付了你一個月的野營費，而你沒有給她打一個電話。
當你15歲的時候，她回家想擁抱你一下，而你把門插起來。
當你17歲的時候，她在等著一個重要的電話，而你捧著電話打了整個晚上。
當你18歲的時候，她為你高中畢業感動的流下眼淚，而你跟朋友聚會到天明。
當你19歲的時候，她付了你的大學學費又送你到學校的第一天，你要求她在離校門口較遠的地方下車，怕被朋友看見會丟臉。
當你20歲的時候，她問你：「你整天去哪裡？」而你回答：「我不想想你一樣。」
當你23歲的時候，她給你買傢具讓你布置你的新家，而你對朋友說她買的傢具真是糟糕。
當你30歲的時候，她對怎樣照顧嬰兒提出勸告，而你說：「媽，現在時代已不同了。」
當你50歲的時候，她常患病，需要你的看護，你反而在讀一本關於父母在孩子家寄身的書。
終有一天，她去世了。突然你想起了所有從來沒做過的是，他們像榔頭痛打著你心。
為我們洗澡穿衣，牽手走路，為我們遠行牽掛的母親，是我們一生的財富，你是否有盡到你的孝道，關心母親吧，別到了「子欲養而親不在」時才體會母親的神情。
早些年，我也是如此這般的自以為是。直到我曾經一度差點失去她時，才明白，我是如此的深愛著她，就像她愛我一樣深深的愛著她。那麼，在外的你在閑暇時、無聊時可曾記得打電話給她，只為說一句：「媽，您身體還好嗎？」

Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute and show appreciation
to the person called mom though some may not say it openly to their mother.
There's no substitute for her. Cherish every single moment. Though at times
she may not be the best of friends, may not agree to our thoughts, she is
still your mother!!! She will be there for you...to listen to your woes,
your braggings, your frustrations, etc. Ask yourself...have you put aside
enough time for her, to listen to her "blues" of working in the kitchen,
her tiredness? Be tactful, loving and still show her due respect though
you may have a different view from hers. Once gone, only fond memories of
the past and also regrets will be left.
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Love her more than
you love yourself. Life is meaningless without her ... |
