Summary
Youziyin
— —by Meng Jiao
A thread in one hand of the loving mother,
A dress of the parting son in the other.
She sews stitch by stitch: his departure’s near,
For fear that he won’t be home in many a year.
Who can tell, how much should the son impart,
To well reward the loving mother’s heart
Parents and children are the best gifts to each other.
