想妈妈

匆匆时光匆匆过
送您机场别离去
流芳岁月流泪眼
泪印盖在足印上
有妈妈的日子好易过
有妈妈的日子未哭过
有妈妈的日子话成串
有妈妈的日子天天笑
有妈妈的日子呵﹐我是个小孩子
一条毛巾几件衫
新买的萍果雪梨都未尝
雪柜里还有芝麻汤丸和莲蓉饱
妈妈呀﹐您太过疼惜女儿的心
一张棉被上的针和线
密密缝着母亲的爱
这床边的椅子上看不见您
妈妈呀﹐我脑海里依然有你在密密地缝
噢﹐妈妈飞去八个钟
我呆对四壁十个钟
一张大床太宽了
大姑娘哭成了小姑娘
这里孤单的思念陪我走进了夜
那里载着离愁的夜机应已降落在大鱼山
爸爸伴着妈妈归家去
电话里的妈妈就在耳朵旁
耳朵里的妈妈呵﹐长住在我心坎里
MISSING
MUM

Rushing hours rushed by
I saw you off at the airport
Tears had flowed in the flowing florid time
Their stains had covered the footprints on my
path
Yet days with Mum went easily well
Days with Mum saw no tears
In the days with Mum I was a chattering box
In the days with Mum I laughed a lot
Oh, in those days with Mum, I became a little
girl
There lie your towel and some clothes
Here are apples and pears we bought but you
didn’t eat
The sesame rice balls and lotus seed buns packs
are intact in the fridge
Oh, Mummy, you treasure overwhelmingly your
daughter’s love
Every stitch you made on my quilt
Has knitted tightly a great mum’s love
Though you are not sitting in the chair next to
the bed
Oh, Mummy, I see you in my brain still sewing
hard
Oh, Mum, you have flown for eight hours
But I have faced the walls sillily for ten hours
A queen-sized bed is definitely too large
When a big girl has cried into a small child
The lonely feeling walks me into dark night here
The night flight carrying worries must have
landed on the Lantou Island there
Daddy accompanies Mummy to go back home
Then Mummy in the telephone is just next to my
ears
Oh, Mummy in my ears resides permanently on my
mind
