歌中常唱父亲是山母亲是河。今天我要把母亲也比作山。每年回国探望父母,他们总还拿我当小孩子看待,给予我毫无保留的爱。今天母亲节,祝我亲爱的母亲父亲健康长寿!

献给母亲
文|雨文Sarah (美国)
我提出异议
对公认的比喻
我研究了Mother 这个字
M 是两座高耸的
山峰
中间幽谷绿草茵茵
山峰遮挡恶风烈日
幽谷是摇篮
轻轻摇晃
婴儿的哭笑从那里传出
岁月,粗糙斑裂了山坡上的老槐树皮
岁月,将母亲头发饰上
缕缕银丝
虽已步履蹒跚
可是,母亲就在那里
轻声哼着摇篮曲
守望她的孩子

To MOTHER
By Sarah Chen (USA)
I dare to differ
from that metaphor of referring Father as mountain.
I studied the word Mother.
Do you see?
M is in the shape of two peaks of a mountain,
with a valley in between.
Piercing wind and scorching sun
are shielded away
by those two arms,
The valley is a cradle
from where you hear
crying and laughing of the infant.
Old man of Time,
roughes the bark of trees,
and blows dusty white onto Mother's hair.
Though she is in her senior years,
Mother is always there for me,
Bueatiful and loving,
the figure of Maria.
