When there is a frown on your face

that's when my heart rips apart
and that's when I worry
if you feel ill but that
you would not like anyone to know

You always forget the discomfort
as soon as you feel something wrong
with your health

You always say, "I'm just fine"
just not to make your family worried
But the frown on your face tells it all

Be good to yourself
because we all need you
all our lives.


On this Chinese New Year
the kids and I wish you
a blessed new year,
good health, good fortune,
the best things that life can offer

We love you
