In the village,

you own the land.

You can do

gardening

and look after

your family.

But in the city,

you don't own

the land.

Your job

is

your garden.

With it,

you can look

after

your family.

Guard it well.

My late mother

would often

tell me that

when I

got married

and was starting

my family

in the city.

I miss you

Mummy.

Happy Mother's Day

in heaven.
