The song that we just heard,was a wonderful poetry. Her mother and Corrine May loved each other but they parted. We have to remind another that we must koow that time spent together with our loved ones is super short. We have to spent quality time with one another. when Corrine May went overseas to further study, I would rather her to bring her parents along.

I really like this song very much .I would also like to thank Corrine who wrote the song as it helps other people to realise that love ones are as important too . It is very touching as she hum along the song as though she is the one suffering .It is sang with expression .It is like glass being shattered into pieces.The mum was the glass and the flower on it is the child.As it's shattered,the "flower" have to be independent .Usually,we learnt from everything,this time ,I learnt that we should treasure the short time with our love ones or regretting will be the result.
Nice work ! Where did you get all these powerful sentences from ?!

I still okok like the song as this song shows how your mother took care of you,how she teaches you how to walk,teaches you all 4 subject(English , mathematics ,science and mother toungue)Also,it shows how much your mother loves you and how brave she was when she gave birth to us.My mother loves me by buying good food to eat and buys toys for me so I would not get bored.The song also shows that when you leave far away from her or home,she still worries about you and always asks you to take care.Your mother would see you take of in the sky so that to ensure that you fly safety.And once she gets sick,you must fly back immediately as this would ensure that you love your mother a lot.You should also come back to see your mother to love her by buying things to eat and buys whatever she needs.This would know that you love your mother really and super ultra much.It is the best rate for loving your mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!l!!!!!
