It was the thread in the fond mother`s hand,
That fashioned the clothes of the traveling lad.
At the time of parting,the clothes were securely sewn,
For the might not soon return home.
Who says that a blade of grass one inch tall,
Can repay the kindness of the spring sun?
慈母手中线,游子身上衣,
临行密密缝,意恐迟迟归,
谁言寸草心,报得三春晖!
