MOTHER......
Mother U mean the world too me------ EIGHT LIES OF A MOTHER
This story begins when I was a child:
I was born poor. Often we hadn't enough to eat. Whenever we had some
food, Mother often gave me her portion of rice. While she was
transferring her rice into my bowl, she would say "Eat this rice, son! I'm
not hungry." This was Mother's First Lie.
As I grew, Mother gave up her spare time to fish in a river near our
house; she hoped that from the fish she caught, she could give me a little
bit more nutritious food for my growth. Once she had caught just two
fish, she would make fish soup. While I was eating the soup, mother
would sit beside me and eat the what was still left on the bone of the
fish I had eaten, My heart was touched when I saw it. Once I gave the
other fish to her on my chopstick but she immediately refused it and said,
"Eat this fish, son! I don't really like fish. " This was Mother's Second Lie.
Then, in order to fund my education, Mother went to a Match Factory to
bring home some used matchboxes, which she filled with fresh
matchsticks. This helped her get some money to cover our needs. One
wintry night I awoke to find Mother filling the matchboxes by candle light.
So I said,"Mother, go to sleep; it's late: you can continue working
tomorrow morning." Mother smiled and said "Go to sleep, son! I'm not
tired. " This was Mother's Third Lie. When I had to sit my Final Examination,
Mother accompanied me. After dawn, Mother waited for me for hours
in the heat of the sun. When the bell rang, I ran to meet her.. Mother
embraced me and poured me a glass of tea that she had prepared in a
thermos. The tea was not as strong as my Mother's love, Seeing Mother
covered with perspiration, I at once gave her my glass and asked her to
drink too. Mother said "Drink, son! I'm not thirsty!". This was Mother's
Fourth Lie.
After Father's death, Mother had to play the role of a single parent. She
held on to her former job; she had to fund our needs alone. Our family's
life was more complicated. We suffered from starvation. Seeing our
family's condition worsening, my kind Uncle who lived near my house came
to help us solve our problems big and small. Our other neighbours saw that
we were poverty stricken so they often advised my mother to marry
again. But Mother refused to remarry saying "I don't need love. " This was
Mother's Fifth Lie............. After I had finished my studies and gotten a job, it
was time for my old Mother to retire but she carried on going to the
market every morning just to sell a few vegetables. I kept sending her
money but she was stead fast and even sent the money back to me. She
said, "I have enough money. " That was Mother's Sixth Lie.
I continued my part-time studies for my Master's Degree. Funded by the
American Corporation for which I worked, I succeeded in my studies. With
a big jump in my salary, I decided to bring Mother to enjoy life in America
but Mother didn't want to bother her son; she said to me"I'm not used to
high living. " That was Mother's Seventh Lie.
In her dotage, Mother was attacked by cancer and had to be hospitalized.
Now living far across the ocean, I went home to visit Mother who was
bed ridden after an operation. Mother tried to smile but I was heart
broken because she was so thin and feeble but Mother said,"Don't cry,
son! I'm not in pain. " That was Mother's Eighth Lie. Telling me this, her
eighth lie, she died. YES, MOTHER WAS AN ANGEL!
M - O - T - H - E - R ...................................................
"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 gold,
"E" is for her Eyes with love-light shining in them,
"R" means Right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER" a word that means the
world to me.........
