Mother's Love

A baby Boy was just born, the Mother slowly rocked him side to side in her arms and sang: I love you, Mom loves you. I love you, Mom loves you. I will love you, your entire life. Till the day you grow old.
As the day go by the baby grows up into a toddler. He is 2 years old and is just learning how to walk. The toddler walks aimlessly around the house. He leaves his toys everywhere. He urinates in his pants. He poops on the bed. He cries constantly. He screamed his lung out. The mother gets tired, angry and said: “Boy, you are making me crazy!”. When the child sleeps, the mother comes and stands by the crib. She sings: I love you, Mom loves you. I love you, Mom loves you. I will love you, your entire life. Till the day you grow old. The child continues to grow until he became 9 years old. He doesn’t want to eat on time. He never wanted to shower. When Grandmother came to visit, he often argued and has a bad attitude toward his Grandma. The Mom sometimes wishes to send him away for a certain amount of time. When night comes, the boy is sound asleep. The Mother comes to the side of the bed, tucks him in and sang: I love you, Mom loves you. I love you, Mom loves you. I will love you, your entire life. Till the day you grow old. Day by day, the child turns into a young teenager. He makes friend with weird people and brings them home. He wears weird clothes; dances weirdly to weird songs. The Mother sometimes feels like her son lives in the zoo. When he slept silently at night, the mother slowly walked into his room, kissed him on the forehead and she sang: I love you, Mom loves you. I love you, Mom loves you. I will love you, your entire life. Till the day you grow old. The teenager grows into a young man as the days pass by. He moves into the City to work. Sometimes the Mother comes up to visit. But usually she has to wait at the door until midnight to see him come home completely drunk. The Mother helps him in, cleaned his face and tucks him in. She stands there and shakes her head and sadly sings when he is sounded asleep. I love you, Mom loves you. I love you, Mom loves you. I will love you, your entire life. Till the day you grow old. Then, the grown man gets married and he rarely visits his Mother. He still has to work to support his own family. More wrinkles formed on his mother’s face as time passed by. One day, the Mother feels weak and she phoned him to come home as she wishes to see him in person. He drives to her home and stayed overnight with her. On that same night, she lies on the bed and sings to him: I love you, Mom loves you. I love you, Mom loves you. As she sang half of the song, she began to cough with stops her singing. She quietly passed away with her hand still holding his.
After the funeral, the night came while the son was rocking his child to sleep. A son who has just lost his mother kissed his own son on the forehead and sang.
I love you, Mom loves you.
I love you, Mom loves you. I will love you, your entire life. Till the day you grow old. After sang the song, lonely by himself he sat and cried.
