To My Beloved Parents
Dad, Mom
Up until today, you’ve
Raised me with so much care,
Thank you.
Dad, flipping through the album,
There’s still little me,
You held me close.
Now you’ve got white hair and some wrinkles,
A bit more than before,
It makes me feel a bit sad.
You worried and scolded me,
We’ve been through a lot,
I’m sorry for all the trouble I caused,
Please stay healthy forever.
Dad, Mom,
Up until today, you’ve
Raised me with so much care,
Thank you.
Dad, Mom,
To you I love,
I send this bouquet,
I love you so much.
Mom, with your soothing voice,
How many times did you say,
"Welcome home" to me?
With your warm hands,
How many meals did we share,
Together, just us?
In the diary from the day I was born,
Your gentle words say,
"Raise her to be honest and sweet,"
Am I that girl now?
Dad, Mom,
I realize later on,
How loved I was,
Thank you.
Dad, Mom,
To you I love,
What can I do for you?
I love you so much.
Thank you for giving me life,
Thank you for wishing for me,
Thank you for scolding me,
Thank you for believing in me,
Thank you for loving me,
Forever and ever, my precious ones.
Dad, Mom,
Up until today, you’ve
Raised me with so much care,
Thank you.
Dad, Mom,
To you I love,
I send this bouquet,
I love you so much.
I realize later on,
How loved I was,
Thank you.
Dad, Mom,
I’ve learned the happiness
Of being born to you,
Thank you.
