Missing Mom

Her ''no'' was love in disguise

Missing Mom

7 Things..that I used to be angry with my mom

1. Mom chased and hit us

When we were kids

When we grew up, we realized that.. Mom's bent cane

Is something that helps change our habits

To always lead to a good future

2. Mom doesn't let us go play

But forced us to do homework

When we grew up, we realized that.. Mom's planning

Is much longer than our short-term

Fun

Ideas

3. Mom doesn't give us money to buy snacks

When we grew up, we realized that.. The money that she didn't give us that day

Makes us have more value today

4. Mom doesn't buy us toys even though we want them

When we grew up, we realized.. Why wouldn't Mom want to buy them for us

But Mom knows that she has more important things

To buy us toys

That day

5. Mom doesn't let us go out with friends

Growing up, I realized that..what my mother forbade

Was what my mother worried about because she didn't know that

If my child was out of my sight at that age

I didn't know what bad things

would happen to my child.

6. My mother complained about me..all day long

Growing up, I realized that..when there was no mother's complaint

This world..was so quiet, lonely and sad

7. My mother likes to scold me when I go somewhere without telling her

When I tell her..she doesn't let me go

Growing up, I realized that..what my mother knew

And what I knew at that time

Are very different

With life..that has been through different worlds

I would like to thank

All my mother's teachings and rejections that day

That made my child have good things today
