If I were flowers, my mother was water.

If I were a bird, my mother was a tree.

If I were a star, my mother was the sky.

If I were the grass, my mother was the sunlight.

Mother has given me all her youth,

who is like a burning candle,

giving me light

wherever it’s dark.

I know I can never give back enough

for her deep love.

I will work hard

as is what she desire to see

in her heart.

If I were the flowers

I would bring her happiness.

If I were a bird,

I would sing her a ballad.

If I were a star

I would give her all my light.

If I were grass

I would bring her a green space.

I LOVE MY MOTHER.
