(
May 19-June 3, 1999 message from W. H. Haisadiam: )
The following message of “Missing Mother” was written on May 9, 1999, the Mother’s Day in
America, China, and many other countries around the world. Originally I wrote it for sending it to
a friend of mine who had lost her mother when she was a little girl. She and her two younger sisters
had some rough time for quite a few years before they grew up to earn their living on their own by
going to both school and works, starting from their middle teenage.
By adding some words in the foreword, I felt it could be for all people who would eventually
part with their mothers in the mundane world.
For
those who have lost their mothers,
and
those who will eventually part with their mothers
in
the mundane world:
MISSING
MOTHER
I miss Mother in
the morning,
←when I was an
infant.
Because
she was as fragrant and refreshing
As
the air of the early morning.
I
miss Mother around noon,
←when I was a
little child and
Because,
even under the hot, heavy sun, went
out with my mother,
She
carried me in her bosom, on her back, especially when I
was sent
And
walked long ways
to a doctor.
Without
giving a thought of tiredness.
I
miss Mother in the afternoon,
←when I have grown
up.
Because
whether in directing me
Or
misunderstanding me,
She
was with love and concern for me.
I
miss Mother in the evening,
←when I have
become a
Because
after I myself have become a parent, parent.
I
know much more about
How
she have loved me;
And
know that
I
will eventually meet with Mother
In
the heavenly home;
Me
and my loving mother will be together again
In
the house of God the Eternal.
Feeling
grateful to Mother,
I
love my mother.
