In countries all over the world
Various kinds of mothers
Different appearances and languages
Even the clothes they wear are different
But
The translator whispers this
"To mothers all over the world, thank you for being you." -- Yayako Uchida
Celebrating a child's birthday
One candle on the cake when they turn one
Two candles when they turn two
...Ten candles when they turn ten
That is
The accumulation of the days
When a mother became a mother
A mother
Along with her child
Adds another year to her life as a mother
The day
A mother became a mother
A mother
Was waiting for you
So you wouldn't get lost
So you wouldn't lose sight of the signpost
Come here... into this heart
Thank you
For being born
Just...
There are only those words
Where did I come from?
From a child
You might be asked such a thing
From the sky?
From the sea?
From the universe?
Where did I come from, I wonder
But
Actually
I am the one
Who chose the place
Where I was born
Therefore
I am at peace
I
Chose you
*This picture book
Is often shared
With families of children born with illnesses
Mom is
Always, no matter what
No matter what you look like
Always, always
Watching over you
I will tell you
That Mom is here for you
*The next two books
Are about a child's slightly sad feelings...
Mom
Is your smartphone really that interesting?
Is it fun?
I want to do
Fun things with you too
But if the thing that is fun
For MomIs your smartphone...
I
Want to become Mom's smartphone
I am
a big brother, so I hold back, but
still,
I don't want to be scolded.
So,
for my Tanabata wish,
I wrote,
'Please don't let me be scolded.'
Mom
gave me
a big, tight hug.
For children,
Mom,
Mother,
is the only one... their one and only precious person.
