翻譯一首來自小兒子的英文生日卡小詩,愛與被愛的感覺很美好!

《因為有你,媽媽》
因為有你,媽媽, 我懂得了愛是無價。 是包容,是不怕, 是笑容裡悄悄的牽掛。 是喜悅能一起分享, 是信念不輕放下。 是給我勇氣和方向, 讓心堅定如初踏。 因為有你,媽媽, 我明白了家的回答。 是笑聲中彼此靠近, 是眼神裡不用說話。 是真實,不偽裝, 是朋友般的念掛, 無論風雨怎麼颳, 你總在那裡,像暖茶。 因為有你,媽媽, 我懂得什麼最值得記掛。 不是名利,不是繁華, 是愛與家的根紮。 它們平凡,卻最真, 它們靜靜,心卻大。 這世界太複雜, 你卻讓我心安如家。 生日快樂,我的媽媽!
Because of you, Mom
Because of you, Mom, I know what love is. It’s patience. It’s sacrifice. It’s sharing joy and keeping faith. And it’s what makes us strong and helps us find our way. Because of you, Mom, I know what family is. It’s laughing. It’s leaning. It’s being “real” and being friends. And it will always be there, no matter what. Because of you, Mom, I know what’s at the heart of a good life… love and family— those things that are true and lasting. They make a difference… I know that because of you. Happy birthday Mom.
