慈母恩难报，游子泪潸然。
春晖寸草何及，惟愿母长年。
十月怀胎茹苦，三载哺儿劳瘁，白发换朱颜。
倚闾常翘首，日暮盼归船。
思孝道，慕贤圣，古风传。
舜耕历岳，老莱戏彩乐庭前。
王祥卧冰求鲤，黄香扇枕温席，陆绩橘怀鲜。
更有孟宗竹，哭笋感苍天。
今佳节，萱花盛，报恩全。
晨昏定省，莫待亲去泣空椽。
且尽人子之职，菽水承欢亦足，百善孝当先。
若问功德事，孝道最无边。

Ode to Mother (to the tune of Shui Diao Ge Tou)
A mother’s grace is hard to repay; a wanderer’s tears flow in dismay.
Spring rays and tiny grass – how can they compare? I only wish my mother many years to spare.
Ten moons in womb she bore the pain; three years of nursing, toil in vain – her black hair turns to silver-gray.
She often leans by the gate, gazing afar; at dusk she longs for my returning star.
Think of filial ways, admire saints of old – ancient virtues still unfold.
Shun plowed on Mount Li; old Lai in colored robes made mirth before the hall.
Wang Xiang lay on ice for carp; Huang Xiang fanned pillows and warmed the bed; Lu Ji hid oranges fresh, by filial love led.
And Meng Zong’s bamboo – his weeping made it sprout, moving the heavens throughout.
Now on this festive day, the day-lily blooms bright; to repay all kindness, let our hearts unite.
At dawn and dusk we should attend with care, lest parents leave – and we weep in empty air.
Do our filial duty well – even simple meals bring cheer; of all virtues, filial piety stands most dear.
If you ask what merit holds the highest grace – filial piety knows no bound, nor time, nor place.
愿此三体之词，传于四海，感于人心。孝为百行之源，德乃无上之珍。母亲节将至，（农历六月初六）为中华母亲节日。请相互转告悉知。
普愿天下儿女，及时尽孝，莫负春晖。功德无量，感恩随喜！🙏
