My mum
—by Rebecca
She, with a serious face, sits in front of me.
And always tells me what I should be,
What I can't be.
In her mind, I just do everything wrong.
I can try nothing because I'm not strong.
Sometimes I just think about that.
Doesn't she treat (对待) me just as a pet?
She's a boring woman, she is my mum.
And then one day I see her,
In the kitchen, making supper.
Wonderfully, her hands are dancing.
Washing and cutting,
Cooking the dinner becomes her everything.
Suddenly I find she's beautiful.
She's an angel, my mum.
