英語經典美文 爲母親祈禱
一個女兒該怎樣感謝她的母親所給予的生命？感謝她在撫養孩子時所付出的愛、耐心以及無私的辛勤勞動？一個成年女子該怎樣感謝母親依然如故的角色？感謝她始終不變的愛心、體貼周到、耐心與寬容厚道？親愛的上帝，請求你好好地保佑她……
在母親節來臨之際，謹祝天下所有平凡而偉大的母親節日快樂！
Dear God,
Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them.
I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does not change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad that I am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow easily from my pen.
How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? For running after a toddler, for understanding a moody teenager, for tolerating a college student who knows everything? For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes her mother really is?
How does a grown woman thank for a mother for continuing to be a mother? For being ready with advice(when asked ) or remaining silent when it is most appreciated? For not saying:”I told you so”, when she could have uttered these words dozens of times? For being essentially herself—loving, thoughtful, patient, and forgiving?
I don’t know how, dear God, except to bless her as richly as she deserves and to help me live up to the example she has set. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine.
A daughter
