MOTHER

Written by Howard Johnson

"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold,
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER",
A word that means the world to me.
--Howard Johnson


“母親”的含義
“M”代表她所給予我的無數，
“O”的意思是她在日漸老去，
“T”是她為撫育我灑下的淚，
“H”指她有像黃金一樣的心靈，
“E”就是她的眼睛，裏麵洋溢著愛的光芒，
“R”的意思是正確，因為她永遠都是對的。
將以上字母串在一起就是“母親（mother）”，
這個詞說出了我整個的世界。
--霍華德8226;約翰遜


美國抒情詩人霍華德·約翰遜(1887 - 1941)的這首小詩將“母親”的形象惟妙惟肖地刻畫在讀者眼前。作者巧妙地將“mother”一詞中的每一個字母和單詞聯係起來，並描繪出母親的典型特征，既寓意深刻又耐人尋味。正是平凡的母親用青春、淚水、心血和關愛給了我們鮮活的生命、豐富的生活和廣闊的世界，才使得我們在忙碌之餘、在匆匆之中，時時被心中對母親的牽掛、惦念和感恩溫暖著、鼓舞著。
