Something more about the MAA!!
Thanks a ton to all of you!!
Here i am putting something more about MAA, but it not a poem.
The story began when I was a child; I was born as a son of a poor
family. Even for eating, we often got lack of food. Whenever the time
for
eating, mother often gave me her portion of rice. While she was
removing
her rice into my bowl, she would say: "Eat this rice, son. I'm not
hungry"
------------ MOTHER'S FIRST LIE
When I was getting to grow up, the persevering mother gave her spare
time
for fishing in a river near our house, she hoped that from the fishes
she
got, she could gave me a little bit nutritious food for my growth.
After
fishing, she would cook the fishes to be a fresh fish soup, which
raised my
appetite. While I was eating the soup, mother would sit beside me and
eat
the rest meat of fish, which was still on the bone of the fish I ate.
My
heart was touched when I saw it. I then used my chopstick and gave the
other fish to her. But she immediately refused it and said: "Eat this
fish,
son. I don't really like fish."
------------ MOTHER'S SECOND LIE
Then, when I was in Junior High School, to fund my study, mother went
to an
economic enterprise to bring some used-matches boxes that would be
stuck
in. It gave her some money for covering our needs. As the winter came,
I
woke up from my sleep and looked at my mother who was still awoke,
supported by a little candlelight and within her perseverance she
continued
the work of sticking some used-matches box. I said, "Mother, go to
sleep,
it's late, tomorrow morning you still have to go for work." Mother
smiled
and said: "Go to sleep, dear. I'm not tired."
-------------MOTHER'S THIRD LIE
At the time of final term, mother asked for a leave from her work in
order
to accompany me. While the daytime was coming and the heat of the sun
was
starting to shine, the strong and persevering mother waited for me
under
the heat of the sun's shine for several hours. As the bell rang, which
indicated that the final exam had finished, mother immediately welcomed
me
and poured me a glass of tea that she had prepared before in a cold
bottle.
The very thick tea was not as thick as my mother's love, which was much
thicker. Seeing my mother covering with perspiration, I at once gave
her my
glass and asked her to drink too. Mother said: "Drink, son. I'm not
thirsty!"
----------- MOTHER'S FORTH LIE
After the death of my father because of illness, my poor mother had to
play
her role as a single parent. By held on her former job, she had to fund
our
needs alone. Our family's life was more complicated. No days without
sufferance. Seeing our family's condition that was getting worse, there
was
a nice uncle who lived near my house came to help us, either in a big
problem and a small problem. Our other neighbors who lived next to us
saw
that our family's life was so unfortunate, they often advised my mother
to
marry again. But mother, who was stubborn, didn't care to their advice,
she
said: "I don't need love"
------------------ MOTHER'S FIFTH LIE
After I had finished my study and then got a job, it was the time for
my
old mother to retire. But she didn't want to; she was sincere to go to
the
marketplace every morning, just to sell some vegetable for fulfilling
her
needs. I, who worked in the other city, often sent her some money to
help
her in fulfilling her needs, but she was stubborn for not accepting the
money. She even sent the money back to me. She said: "I have enough
money."
---------------- MOTHER'S SIXTH LIE
After graduated from Bachelor Degree, I then continued my study to
Master
Degree. I took the degree, which was funded by a company through a
scholarship program, from a famous University in America. I finally
worked
in the company. Within a quite high salary, I intended to take my
mother to
enjoy her life in America. But my lovely mother didn't want to bother
her
son, she said to me: "I'm not used to."
------------------ MOTHER'S SEVENTH LIE
After entering her old age, mother got a flank cancer and had to be
hospitalized. I, who lived in miles away and across the ocean, directly
went home to visit my dearest mother. She lied down in weakness on her
bed
after having an operation. Mother, who looked so old, was staring at me
in
deep yearn. She tried to spread her smile on her face; even it looked
so
stiff because of the disease she held out. It was clear enough to see
how
the disease broke my mother's body, thus she looked so weak and thin. I
stared at my mother within tears flowing on my face. My heart was hurt,
so
hurt, seeing my mother on that condition. But mother, with her
strength,
said: "Don't cry, my dear. I'm not in pain."
----------------- MOTHER'S EIGHTH LIE
After saying her eighth lie, my dearest mother closed her eyes forever.
From the story above, I believe that you, my dear friends, feel touched
and
eager to say: "Thank you, Mom!" Let's try to think, friends. How long
haven't we called our parents? How long haven't we spent our time for
chatting with them? During our crowded activities, we always have
thousands
reasons to leave our lonely parents.
We always forget to our parents who stay at home. If comparing with our
girlfriend, we surely give our care more to her. As a proof, we always
worry on her condition. Worry about whether she has eaten or not, worry
about whether she will be happy if she is beside us someday.
However, have we ever worried about our parents? Worry about whether
they
have eaten or not? Worry about whether they are happy or not? Is it
true?
If the answer is yes, let's try to think again... At the time that we
still
have the chance to payback their kindness, do it the best...
