母亲节的礼物-Mother\'s day gift

母亲节的礼物

 

最近看到朋友送来的一段诗，不由得回忆起一个故事。这段诗和这个故事都告诉我们同一个道理：当我们的父母依然健在的时候，应该重视他们的存在，满足他们的需求，及时地尽孝。在母亲节到来之际，别忘了打个电话回家，请为她买束漂亮的玫瑰花。如果有可能，请将你自己作为最好的礼物送给她。

 

母爱才是天底下最无私的爱

 

当你1岁的时候，她喂你吃奶并给你洗澡；而作为报答，你整晚的哭闹； 

当你3岁的时候，她伶爱地为你做菜；而作为报答，你把一盘她做的菜扔在地上； 

当你4岁的时候，她给你买下彩笔；而作为报答，你涂了满墙的抽象画； 

当你5岁的时候，她给你买了漂亮的衣服；而作为报答，你穿著它到泥坑里玩耍； 

当你7岁的时候，她给你买了球；而作为报答，你用球打破了邻居的玻璃； 

当你9岁的时候，她付了很多钱给你辅导钢琴；而作为报答，你常常旷课并不去练习； 

当你11岁的时候，她陪你还有你的朋友们去看电影；而作为报答，你让她去坐另一排； 

当你13岁的时候，她建议你去把头发剪断，而你说她不懂什么是现在的时髦发型； 

当你14岁的时候，她付了你一个月的夏令营费用，而你却一整月没有给她打一个电话； 

当你15岁的时候，她下班回家想拥抱你一下，而作为报答，你转身进屋把门插上； 

当你17岁的时候，她在等一个重要的电话，而你却抱著电话和你的朋友聊了一晚上； 

当你18岁的时候，她为你高中毕业感动得流下眼泪，而你却跟朋友在外聚会整夜没回家； 

当你19岁的时候，她付了你的大学学费又送你到学校，你要求她在远点下车怕同学看见笑话； 

当你20岁的时候，她问你“你整天去哪”，而你回答：我不想像你一样； 

当你23岁的时候，她给你买家具布置你的新家，而你对朋友说她买的家具真糟糕； 

当你30岁的时候，她对怎样照顾小孩提出劝告，而你对她说：妈，时代不同了； 

当你40岁的时候，她给你打电话，说今天生日，而你回答：妈，我很忙没时间； 

当你50岁的时候，她常常患病，需要你的看护，而你却为自己儿女在奔波，无暇顾妈； 

终于有一天，她去世了，突然你想起了所有从来没做过的事，它们像榔头般痛击著你的心。 

如果母亲仍健在，那么别忘了比以往任何时候都更深地爱著她。 

如果她已经不幸永远离开了你，那么你必须记得，母爱才是天底下最无私的爱。

Roses for Mama (story)

The narrator is traveling to Florida to vacation with an old friend when he makes a stop in Georgia. During the stop, he calls his mother to wish her a happy birthday and plans to wire her a dozen roses. At the flower shop, he runs into a teary-eyed 5-year-old boy. The boy is upset because he cannot afford to purchase roses for his mother, whom he says he hasn't seen in a year.

The boy tells his story about living with his grandmother and that he had promised to purchase the roses to celebrate his mother's birthday. The story touches the narrator's heart, and he agrees to fund the boy's purchase. The boy thanks the narrator, who then proceeds with his planned purchase.

Later, as the narrator is driving out of town, he sees the boy at the cemetery, kneeling by what turns out to be his mother's grave. After the boy explains that "this is where my mother lives now," the narrator decides that he is taking his own mother for granted and decides to take his rose bouquet to give to her in person.

"Roses for Mama" is a song recorded and by country music artist C.W. McCall.

One of McCall's numerous recitations released during the 1970s, "Roses for Mama" differed from his usual novelty-style tales. Instead, this song focuses on a traveler's kindhearted actions toward a motherless boy.
