from the day I was born

Out of countless families in this world,

You were born right here with us.

Your very first cry wrapped us in happiness —

How many years have passed since that day?

All the memories we’ve made up to today,

I could live them all because of you.

The days you clung to me,

The days you pushed me away — every moment

Has become a treasure of mine now.

To you — the most precious one in the world,

I promise I’ll be on your side, no matter what.

Even when your wrinkly smile shows,

Even when tears overflow,

I’ll lift my head high

And tell you, “I love you,” always.

Someone once told me
