When
the children are small
They
are the jewels in parents' eyes
Even
the grandparents will care
The
shining stars in the families
The
children will not be wronged
The
parents will try to make them happy
Pampering
them as the young jewels shine
Wooing
the parents no end
Once
they have grown
The
small rascals they will become
Giving
parents headaches sometimes heartbreaks
The
tantrums to get their ways
When
they turn adults
They
have the wings to fly
Out
of the nests to the new world
So
they think it is
The
parents will keep worrying
In
their eyes they are the shining jewels
The
bright stars coming into their lives
They
will forget the headaches and heartbreaks
When
parents are old
The
adult children sometimes return
Some
go so far away across oceans
They
hardly return to their roots
But
the aging parents will say
How
good the children are today
Though
neighbours know
The
children hardly return
The
aging parents will remember
The
little jewels running in their minds
They
hold on to that episodes of their lives
They
smile as they brought them to this world
