My grandma once confided in me,

My mom embroidered the word "rover" on her jeans.

She touched the embroidery as tears welled in her eye.

 

A journey from a nameless town to a city's gleam,

A rover navigating life in a bustling urban stream.

 

"Why do you weep? She is successful now and she loves you!"

 

“I feel like I was not doing my duty properly.”

”My child has a home…”

This poem is inspired by my mom's life experience. 

My mother worked hard to settle down in the big city. She put in a lot of effort for this.
