Observation
掩面浮生，众象纷纭。枯荣相映，幻境迷人。 面具遮真，喧嚣满林。众生逐影，痴迷其身。 吾心唯念，汝名呦呦。鹿鸣清越，天籁悠悠。 临渊而望，何羡纷流？愿汝心净，不逐凡囚。 浮世狂舞，父爱永存。愿汝似鹿，步步生春。 The masquerade swirls, illusions take hold Life masks the truth in a forest of gold. Faces concealed, yet my heart beats only for you, Child of mine, 呦呦, like deer calls, pure and free. Beyond the chaos, you’ll always be seen, Let not the masks tempt, nor shadows deceive. Love is your anchor, my heart your keep, Though the world dances, my love remains, May you walk with grace, where true peace is gained
Replies by this mask
- We don’t see it until we step into their shoes. The sleepless nights, silent fears, and weight of choices. We judged them, until we held our own child, and the world shifted. Their love, patience, strength—miracles we never saw, until they became ours.
- A mother’s love is quiet yet unshakable. Her silent struggles, yet endless giving. She carries unseen burdens, offers without asking, and loves without limits. Her strength isn’t loud; it’s woven into every selfless act, every moment she puts us first.
Revision
世间假面掩春秋，浮华笑语任人求。 对外千般随水舞，归家一念解眉愁。 冷暖唯知亲爱里，炎凉不必向旁投。 灯前素面迎心语，真意长留共白头。 https://bit.ly/ILoveYouyouyou
