Answer 1

One possible version:

       This is an ancient Chinese poem. A son will be on a long journey tomorrow and he is sleeping soundly by his mother’s side right now. His mother is sewing his clothes by the candlelight. She looks at her son’s young face with tears in her eyes, fearing that he will stay out long. The story tells about Mother’s love, which is deep and sincere. Mother is the warm spring sun while we are new green grass bathing in her golden rays. How can we repay such a great love? Reading the poem, I feel my heart deeply moved by gratitude.
