Mother

No matter how the nights rotate,
Your love remains in hearts.

Oh moon of full moons,
For you all love and devotion.

Oh our mother, oh beloved,
Oh dearest, oh nearest.

Your name in my heart beats,
In absence and presence.

Oh spring of love,
Home of warmth and refuge.

Even if time betrayed me,
Your love never betrays.

Always your image I welcome,
Abides with me as my shadow.

Of its sight I never tire,
When calls on me your spirit.

I feel you in my heart,
Awake and in my sleep.

Your love above all,
Everlasting and undiminished.
