Mother
One word,
The whole fortune,
Fits in five letters.
All my joys,
All my sufferings,
With that one word,
Follow me.
Mother, you were my rock
On which
I leaned firmly.
Now you' are, for me,
A sad topic
Since you forever
Fell asleep.
I minded neither
Rain nor winter;
Your heartiness
Warmed me.
Now even when the sun heats,
My heart is cold.
I didn't understand you
Always well.
I thought, for you,
Everything was easy.
You never complained;
Now, I know it was not like that.
Many kind words,
I owe you,
Hugs, kisses,
The stories untold.
For that, I'm sad today.
Mother, I hope one day,
I'll tell you everything,
In your embrace, when
I'm again.
Rest in peace, mother,
My darling!
