Hurry up, my child,
Hurry!
Hold fast to Mommy’s hand!
The way to heaven
Is too dark. my child.
Mommy’s worried,
You might bang your head.
Hurry!!
Hold fast to my hand.
Let us be side by side.
Mommy,
I am scared.
The way to heaven
Is too blurred.
I can’t see your hand.
For the walls collapsed,
Sunshine deprived.
I no longer sense
Your heartwarming eyes, disappeared.
My child,
Farewell, my child.
The way ahead
will no longer be sad.
No endless books to read.
No countless papers to write.
But you must remember
Your Mom and Dad.
In future life,
How we look.
How we walk side by side.
Mommy,
Don’t be afraid.
The way to heaven
Is crowded
With my classmates and my friends.
We cheer each other,
No tears, we promise.
We love everyone’s Mommy.
Everyone’s Mommy loves me.
In the days without me, Mommy,
Love those children who are alive.
Mommy,
Don’t cry.
Our way to heaven,
Tears cannot light.
Let us
Say good-bye.
Good-bye…
Mommy,
I shall always remember
You and Daddy,
Remember our promise,
Remember how you look,
How we walk, side by side.
