The Legacy of A Mother

A mother. Just thinking about this word makes my heart pound, and tears come to my eyes. Life is about building up time. Other than memories, aren't the objects that have always been around, which are stained by hands, representing the accumulated time? They possess a deep time that cannot be expressed in words and all moments of our mothers. What do they want to say, what story do they have? I looked closely. The light smiles come to mind first. This collection is my love for those who have left me in this world. Now I look around for things that my children will feel me and my time.
