My Parent’s Love

Just as the flowing water

That can’t be stopped by anything;

Is the boundless love

Of one’s mother and father.

The sun glows by day;

The moon shines by night;

But all day and night, shines with radiance;

My parent’s love and care.

They have given me gifts and surprises;

Made me who I am;

They are like a treasure, all desire-fulfilling;

They are my friend, and my companion.

The parent’s love for me;

Neither will it disappear, nor will they forget me;

The serpents and demons can’t carry it off;

The powerful can’t accuse it;

Or the robbers can’t rob it.

Whether visible or invisible;

In all its height, depth and breadth;

Nothing is greater

Than my parent’s boundless love.

Here, I stand wishing to be of help;

But as I stand or sit; walk or lay;

So long as I am awake;

Will not forget to wish you long life,

And ongoing happiness forever.
