What a happy life!

This morning I woke up,
Hearing my parents’ voice,
And the birds singing,
To see the nice day.
 
Happiness fills in my heart,
As my parents love me,
And teach all good things,
Which I was cared for and brought up.
 
How hardworking dad is,
His earning a living not easy,
How clever mom is,
Her doing housework.
 
Daily living is to mine,
I playing with friends a lot,
I grew up faster by the time,
My gratitude has accumulated as a mountain.
 
Bowing down for my paying,
To my parents’ merit,
I promise to be filially pious,
And show gratitude  to my parents.
 
How happy I am,
Born in this life,
Being loved everyday,
How happy I am.
