游子吟

A classic chinese poem by 孟郊.
My mother used to recite this everynight to make me sleep when I was young.

游子吟
孟郊

慈母手中线
游子身上衣
临行密密缝
意恐迟迟归
谁言寸草心
报得三春晖

This poem triggers many memories I had with my late grandmother. Well I guess it will triggers the memories I had with my late great grandmother too.

Afterall, its about mother's love isn't it?
