Mother's hand

Mother's hand

Illustration: Sage.

Skinny hands mending clothes in the past

Stitch each stitch to fit the baby's sleep

Summer noon, mother's shadow withers

The fan swings to lull you to sleep

Cold winter

Mother sits and mends the days of attachment

Skinny hands by the Thuong river bank

Take your child through all the hardships

Bamboo banks still shade the village

The oars paddle dreamily across the river

Homeland of vast mist and smoke

Silently searching for mother's shadow in the distant wilderness

Afternoon sun fades

The incense smoke I burned suddenly blurred the horizon

Mom! tears are full

My shirt is full of needle marks without patches.
