1. I Love and Respect My Mother the Most in the World.
Perhaps when we were young, we all heard the lullaby or the verses: “No matter how big I grow, I will always be my mother’s child. No matter where I go in life, my mother’s love will always follow me.” In this essay, I will tell you about my wonderful mother – the one who loves me with all her heart. If anyone asks me who I love most, I would answer without hesitation: My mother is the one I love the most.
My mother is in her thirties. She is not a doctor or an engineer; she is just an ordinary farmer. My mother has a slender figure and a beautiful oval face. Anyone who meets her once will never forget her. The most striking feature on her face is her dark, sharp eyes, which I love to gaze into. Her eyes seem to speak, to smile, to encourage me to study, and to soothe any pain I feel.
People often say that those with a straight nose are the most beautiful, but my mother doesn’t have that nose. Nevertheless, I think she is very beautiful. Even though she works hard all day, my mother always has a bright smile on her face. Her once fair skin has now turned slightly tan, and her long, smooth black hair is neatly tied behind her head. I love when my mother wears blue jeans and a lilac blouse; it suits her figure so well.
My mother is a woman who embodies the four virtues of “diligence, grace, speech, and kindness.” All household duties fall on her shoulders. She takes care of everything for me and my sibling, from our food to our clothing. Every morning, she wakes up early to prepare breakfast for the whole family.
She loves my father and us with all her heart. Whenever someone is sick in the house, she stays up all night. I remember once when I disobeyed my mother and went out with friends to catch cicadas in the blazing sun. That evening, I had a high fever. My mother quickly found some herbs to steam for me and made a dish of perilla porridge to help me feel better. Watching my mother worry about me like that, I felt so guilty. At that moment, I just wanted to sit up, hug her, and say, “Mom, I’m sorry. From now on, I will listen to you.” My mother is very kind but also strict with us. Even though she’s busy all day with work, she still helps me with my studies at night. Whenever I get bad grades, she doesn’t scold me but instead encourages and comforts me, telling me to try harder next time. She always says that we are her greatest hope. She is the one who gives me strength to keep striving in my studies.
I love my mother so much. I tell myself that I will study hard to repay her for everything she’s done. My mother truly is the one I love and respect most in the world.


2. A mother's love is as vast as the boundless Pacific Ocean.
"A mother's love is as vast as the boundless Pacific Ocean…" – This verse has stayed with me, never fading away. Everyone has someone they admire and take pride in, and for me, that person is my mother. My mother is truly amazing. She is my steadfast support, the one with whom I share all my joys and sorrows. She gave me the life I have today and the promise of tomorrow.
Although my mother is over forty, she still looks young. She is of average height, with a balanced figure. Her hair is styled in an elegant updo that frames her round, kind face, giving her a gentle and lovable appearance. The most striking feature on her face are her large, dark eyes, which always radiate warmth and affection. When she smiles, she reveals a set of perfectly white teeth, which adds to her charm. My mother dresses simply but always with elegance. When she goes to work, she often wears a blue dress with floral patterns or a stylish white suit. At home, she dresses in neat and comfortable clothes, which still look graceful.
My mother loves our family deeply and takes great care in raising us. Even though she has a busy job, she always makes time for our family and for my studies. Whenever I make mistakes, she doesn’t scold or punish me, but gently corrects me and points out my errors so I can improve. She is overjoyed when I achieve good results in my studies.
I remember once when I disobeyed my mother and played outside in the sun. That evening, I developed a high fever and fainted, only waking up near dawn. To my surprise, my mother was still there, sitting by my side. She had stayed up all night to take care of me, and her face showed signs of exhaustion and concern. She tenderly placed her hand on my forehead, then held my hand in hers. I could feel my body warming up, and my illness seemed to fade.
My mother is loved and respected by her colleagues. She is friendly and always willing to help our neighbors, and everyone holds her in high regard. Every time I think of my mother, my heart overflows with the deepest feelings of love and respect. I tell myself, "I must work hard to study well and continue improving to become someone useful to society." This is the greatest wish my mother often shares with me and encourages me to pursue.


3. Watching my mother skillfully sew a shirt for me.
My mother often sews clothes for the entire family. At the start of each school year, she makes me a new shirt. On the day she was sewing my shirt, I stayed close by, watching her carefully stitch it together. My mother is still young, just thirty-five years old. She has smooth, fair skin, large eyes, and a straight nose. When she sits at the sewing machine, she looks incredibly professional, even though she's not a tailor. My mother sews beautifully. Since she works from home, she usually wears light clothing, such as sleeveless tops and short skirts, with her hair tied up to stay cool.
For the past few days, my mother had already cut the fabric and taken it to the sewing shop to finish the edges. She carefully smoothed out the pieces of fabric, and I eagerly waited for her to stitch them together. My mother put on her glasses, opened the sewing machine, threaded the needle, and tested the stitch on a scrap of fabric. Once everything was set, she took the shirt body, made sure it was aligned properly, and checked both sides of the fabric. She placed the pieces together, adjusting the sewing machine to stitch the seam. With one hand holding the fabric and the other guiding the needle, my mother’s glasses slipped down her nose. She sewed the shoulder seams neatly and, after checking the stitch line, she smiled and said, 'This sewing machine really makes fine stitches, doesn’t it?' Next, she attached the sleeves to the body of the shirt. After turning the shirt right side out, she stitched the sleeve and side seams. She measured the fit and cut the collar. Then, she ironed the collar and sewed it onto the shirt. My mother was so skillful in sewing the collar, turning the shirt inside out with ease, and ironing it flat. With her slender hands, she smoothed the fabric edges while squinting through her glasses. Her cheeks flushed with delight, and her eyes sparkled as she said, 'In two days, you’ll wear this new shirt because I still need to sew on the buttons and wash it.' With that, she sewed the pockets and hemmed the shirt. And just like that, my shirt was finished.
Despite her busy schedule, my mother still made time to sew a shirt for me. Watching her work with such joy as she finished sewing the shirt made her even more beautiful, as her radiant smile lit up her face. I felt so happy. Looking at the shirt, I felt proud because my mother is incredibly talented—everything she does is neat and beautiful.
I love watching my mother work. Not only do I enjoy watching her sew clothes, but I also like helping her with the little chores around the house. The joy she feels when she makes clothes for me fills my heart with her boundless love. My mother raised me, giving me the strength and confidence to face life and step forward with assurance.


4. I am very proud of my mother's cooking skills.
Every Sunday, my mother prepares a delicious dish for the family to enjoy. While helping her in the kitchen, I love watching her cook. My mother is still young, only thirty-five years old. Today, she's wearing a cute light pink dress. Her hair is neatly tied up with a black ribbon holding a bun, and a wavy lock of hair curls gracefully beside her face, adding to her charm. After washing her hands, she begins cooking.
First, she cuts the meat into small pieces, like little squares, and marinates them. With her slender hands, she slices and carves the vegetables into shapes like flowers and butterflies. She simmers the meat first, then makes a tomato sauce. The warmth of the stove makes her cheeks flush, and her eyes sparkle with joy. Smiling brightly, she says, 'Today, we're having baguette with ragout, a Western dish that has been Vietnamese-ized.' While cooking, she explains to me how to marinate the meat. While waiting for the meat to soften, I help her wash the fresh vegetables. After soaking and cleaning them carefully, she spins them dry, then asks me to set the table. The meat on the stove is softening, and the delicious aroma fills the air. She adds seasoning and nods in satisfaction, 'The vegetables and meat are just right.' Stirring the pot, she carefully pours the tomato sauce into the meat, watching the sauce float on top of the stew. Once the ragout starts boiling, she adds the vegetables and tells me, 'Set the plates and bread, it’ll be ready in a moment.' She lowers the heat to let the ragout simmer gently and arranges the fresh vegetables on a plate. The vegetable plate looks like a beautiful green flower with a white center of cucumbers. She checks the ragout pot, tastes a piece of potato, then turns off the stove. The dish is ready to serve. I go upstairs to call my father and grandfather for lunch. My mother's ragout is delicious. She's truly a skilled cook. The warm, joyful family meal is the greatest happiness for all of us. Because of my mother's cooking, we prefer her homemade meals over restaurant food.
Sometimes, to give my mother a break and some time to relax, my father suggests we eat out. My mother happily agrees and often chooses a new dish to learn how to cook. My mother really enjoys cooking. I am very proud of my mother's cooking skills. Every day, I listen to her advice, and when I grow up, I will strive to cook as well as she does.


5. My mother loves me unconditionally.
'Mom, the world may be vast, but it's nothing compared to our home. No matter how glorious the world is, it's still nothing compared to having a mother.' In this world, perhaps only mothers love us unconditionally. A mother is the greatest gift that God gives to each of us. In my heart, my mother holds a place that can never be replaced. She is the one I respect and will be grateful for all my life.
My mother has a small frame. Since her youth, her hair has been beautiful, soft, glossy, and black, like a little stream. The lines under her eyes reveal the sacrifices she has made. When I look into her eyes, I can see the tenderness and warmth she always offers.
My mother smiles often, especially when I achieve something great or do something good. Her smile shines brightly, like the morning sun. What I love most are her hands — not soft, but rough and calloused. Yet, these hardworking hands raised us and gave us all the best things in life. Her skin is sun-kissed from years of working hard, taking care of the family.
My mother's immense sacrifices could never be fully counted, as countless as the stars in the sky or the leaves in the forest. Throughout my childhood, I was always surrounded by her soothing lullabies and the warm embrace that was always ready to hold me. To me, my mother is always busy, taking care of everything for the family. She sacrifices everything for the happiness of my siblings and me.
Every day, my mother wakes up early to prepare meals for the family, and even in the evening, she doesn’t rest, taking the time to mend our clothes and sew buttons. She loves us dearly but is also very strict. When she scolds me, I get upset, but I know that everything she does is for my better future.
The lessons my mother taught me are the guiding principles I carry throughout my life. She always reminds us to be honest, sincere, to do what is right, and to empathize with and love others. Despite her busy schedule, she still combs my hair for school in the morning and helps me with my homework at night. To me, she will always be the best teacher.
My mother's cooking is not only delicious but also filled with love, leaving a sweet and unforgettable taste. When we have free time, she often teaches me how to cook. She says it’s important to learn how to take care of oneself and the people we love. Understanding her selfless sacrifices makes me love her even more, and I promise never to cause her trouble. Even when I grow up and one day have to leave her protective embrace, I know that she will always be my solid support whenever I feel weak or fall: 'No matter how old I grow, I will always be your child. Throughout my life, your love will follow me.'


6. A mother is the sky, the warm breath of life.
Poetry, music, art... all celebrate the love of a mother. To me, my mother is everything. She is the sky, the warm breath of life, a boundless love that raised me. My mother is in her forties. She has a slender frame and short, neatly styled hair. Her naturally curly hair falls gracefully, with each lock framing her face beautifully. She has a delicate face, large dreamy eyes, and a slightly melancholic expression. Her eyes sparkle brightly when she smiles, calm and thoughtful when she's worried.
With a composed and confident demeanor, my mother manages everything at home, caring for us with gentleness and affection. Whatever she does, she does quickly and efficiently, maintaining a calm composure that she passed on to us. Her presence makes us independent in our studies and steadier and happier when she's around.
Throughout the year, my mother enjoys staying home to work. Outside her office hours, she takes care of the house, cooks warm meals, and prepares soup for the family. When she has free time, she reads, plants flowers, or sews. She is always tidy, dressed in light blue clothes. Whether working or out, she wears formal attire with elegance and grace. I love watching her when she attends a wedding, dressed in an ao dai and looking beautiful with makeup.
My mother is a capable homemaker, gentle, and polite with the neighbors. With my father, she shares joys and sorrows with tenderness, speaking softly and lovingly. With us children, she is strict in her teaching but also sweet and caring in her advice. I am proud that my mother is the most talented and beautiful in our family.
In addition to teaching us, my mother instills a love for nature, people, and our country through community values, lullabies, and poetry that inspire and captivate. I promise to study hard and become strong, just as my mother has hoped for us.


7. No one in the world is better than a mother.
"No one in the world is better than a mother" – this is a saying my mother often reminds us of whenever she feels sad, and it stays with me. My mother is someone who works tirelessly from dawn to dusk, giving us all her immense love. When I think of a beloved family member, the first person that comes to mind is always my mother.
My mother is in her forties now. She is a doctor, a profession she loves deeply. She told me she chose this path initially to care for those she loves, and later, her profession became her way of wholeheartedly serving everyone. She is about 5'3" tall, and my father often compliments her appearance, calling her a model whenever he sees her looking tired. My mother’s face is very unique; when I was little, I would often mischievously draw circles on her face. I remember once asking, 'Why is your face so round?' and she responded in a playful voice, like in the story of "Little Red Riding Hood": 'My face is round so you can draw easily.' As I grew older, I realized that people with faces like my mother’s are rare. They are often described as having an oval face, radiating a sense of calm and comfort. When people meet my mother for the first time, they feel an instant sense of peace, as if they’ve found someone who will support and share with them.
My mother has a healthy, rosy complexion, perhaps because as a doctor, she not only takes care of others but also knows how to take care of herself. The person who praises her the most is my father, who says she "ages gracefully." It’s probably due to her radiant skin, warm black eyes, and the friendly smile that’s always on her face. She smiles a lot, and she often says, 'A smile is worth ten bottles of medicine.' Sometimes, she smiles out of genuine happiness, especially when a patient recovers; other times, she smiles to ease her worries or to bring joy to others. My mother has skillful hands, and while they may not be as soft and smooth as they used to be, I still love holding them. These hands have healed many people, taken care of our family, and prepared delicious meals for us every day. These hands would soothe me when I had a fever or when I felt sad about my grades. Every time she rubbed my back or gently stroked my hair, I felt as if she had some magical power – soft and warm.
My mother once said, 'As a girl, I am very proud to have long hair,' and she always chooses the best oils to care for my hair. Her hair is long too, and because of her job, she always ties it neatly, but when she sleeps or after washing it, she lets it down. I would always watch in awe, excitedly asking her to let me stand on a chair and measure it.
Like many women, my mother walks gracefully and lightly, perhaps due to her work, but also because it reflects her calm, gentle nature and the confidence in her thoughts and decisions. One evening, because of many patients, my mother came home late. I pretended to sleep and didn’t wait for her to tell me stories as usual. I heard the door open but didn’t hear footsteps, so I turned in fear and saw that she had quietly entered, not wanting to wake me up. That day, my mischievous act was caught by my mother.
This is my mother. I remember every detail of her face and movements, and her love is something I can never forget. She often says, 'Cherish every moment of your life, then you will truly value it.' And I always treasure every moment when she is by my side, giving me the strength to overcome all challenges.


8. My mother is the closest and most caring person to me.
In our family, everyone loves me deeply, but my mother is the one who is closest and takes care of me the most. This year, my mother is forty years old. With a slender, graceful figure, she exudes a noble beauty of a loving mother. Her shiny, black hair is long and neatly tied. Her dark, sparkling eyes always gaze at me with affectionate love. Her face is heart-shaped with fair skin.
Her rosy lips below her delicate, high nose make her even more beautiful. When she smiles, she looks as fresh as a rose blooming at dawn. Her hands are tanned, with thin fingers because she has tirelessly raised and nurtured me since I was a baby. My mother is a farmer but she is also skilled at sewing and embroidery. She especially sews lovely, elegant outfits. At home, she is in charge of the housework. She taught me small chores like sweeping the house and folding clothes… While my father helps with laundry and cleaning the house.
Sometimes, my mother buys flowers to decorate the living room. Whenever guests arrive, she welcomes them warmly, offering fruit and cold drinks. She always wakes up early to prepare breakfast for the family so that my siblings and I can go to school on time. When I fall ill, she stays up all night to care for me. She makes sure I take my medicine on time. She cooks porridge and feeds me spoonfuls. Despite the busy farming schedule, my mother often spends about thirty minutes teaching me after dinner.
Then, she prepares everything for the morning so she can wake up early to care for the family again. My mother is kind-hearted and gentle. She has never scolded me. Whenever I make a mistake, she kindly reminds me to correct it. It’s because of her quiet, diligent teachings that I admire her so much. That’s my mother.
Mom, I love you so much! Every time you hold me in your warm embrace, I feel truly happy to have you. Mom! With you, I feel joyful. With you, I feel warm. In my heart, you are everything, you are the most wonderful fairy in my life. I will always love you and am proud to be your child.
Your love for me is as vast as the ocean, and I understand that no one loves me more than you. Oh, my dear mother! I love you more than anything in this world because you are my mother. “There is no one as kind as a mother throughout the world…” I hope to grow up soon so that I can help ease your burden. I promise to study hard and strive to be excellent in order to repay the gratitude you’ve given me in raising me to be who I am today, Mom.


9. My mother loves me more than life itself
“Giving birth to a child through so many hardships, my mother loves me more than life itself”
Every time I hear this song, I just want to run to my mother, hug her tightly, kiss her cheeks and forehead, and thank her for bringing me into this world and loving me.
My mother is thirty years old this year, but everyone says she looks like she's in her twenties. She has a tall, slim figure and skin as smooth as a baby’s. Her face is small and oval-shaped. What stands out on her face are her expressive, dark eyes, which sparkle every time she smiles. Everyone says I have eyes just like hers, and I’m really proud of that. My mother's nose is high and straight, like a traditional beauty. Her lips never need any lipstick because they are naturally rosy and fresh.
When she smiles, her bright, white teeth show, making her look even more beautiful. My mother likes to keep her hair short, dyed chestnut brown, which makes her look youthful. At home, she usually wears simple clothes, but when going to parties, she loves wearing dresses, often in white or blue. She says she loves these two colors, so most of her clothes are in these shades. My mom is an excellent cook, and my dad always says he prefers to eat her home-cooked meals rather than eating out because her food tastes even better than in restaurants.
She wakes up early every morning to prepare breakfast for the family so that we can start the day with energy. Sometimes, when she has free time, she even teaches me how to cook, though I still have a lot to learn before I can cook as well as her. At school, my teacher teaches me lessons, but at home, my mother is my real teacher. She has a gentle and soothing voice, and whenever she teaches me, I’m captivated by how easy and enjoyable each lesson becomes thanks to her way of explaining.
My mother’s hands are plump and fair, with slender fingers. Those hands gently comb my hair every day, hold my hand to teach me how to write, care for me when I’m sick, and cook delicious meals for me. I love my mother's hands so much. She has sacrificed so much for me, dedicating her youth and love to raising me. Knowing this, I realize that I must never disappoint her.
I love my mother so much, and in my heart, she is everything. No one can ever replace her. I promise myself that I will study hard, behave well, and make her proud.


10. My mother is the breeze that carries me throughout my life
“Tonight, I sleep soundly
For my mother is the wind that will carry me through life.”
In this life, who hasn't grown up in their mother's embrace, hearing the sweet lullaby, who hasn't drifted into dreams as their mother fans them with a gentle hand during hot summer afternoons? And in this world, who loves us like a mother? Who dedicates their life to us as she does? Who is willing to share the sweetest moments with us like she does?
For me, it's the same. My mother is the person who cares for me the most, and the one I love and am most grateful for. I used to think that my mother wasn't beautiful. Not beautiful because she didn't have fair skin, a round face with a gentle expression, or sparkling eyes… Instead, my mother has a thin, sun-kissed face, a high forehead, and the wrinkles of someone in their 40s, signs of the worries life has etched on her. But my father says that my mother is more beautiful than other women because of her intellectual beauty. Indeed, my mother is intelligent, quick-witted, and resourceful. As a leader, everyone sees her as stern and strict, and sometimes I think the same. But when I sit next to her and feel her loving hand caressing my hair, all those thoughts vanish. I feel a rush of warmth and love I can't describe, as though I've never received so much love before. It's as if an immense flow of affection from my mother reaches deep into my heart, through her eyes, her gentle lips, her sweet smile… through everything that is her. You only truly feel this intense love after being close to her for so long. From childhood to adulthood, I have received my mother's endless love as a gift, something I have taken for granted.
In a child's eyes, a mother is born to take care of her. I never questioned: “Why does my mother sacrifice so much for me?” She is good to me, very good, but sometimes I thought she was unfair, cruel even. How many times has my mother scolded me, and I cried, not from regret but from anger and bitterness. Then one day… I came home from school and caught my mother secretly reading my diary. I was furious, snatched it from her, and yelled: “Why are you being so unreasonable, mom? This is my secret, you have no right to touch it. You’re cruel, I don’t need you anymore!” I thought I would get a painful slap. But no, my mother just stood there, pale, her eyes filled with tears. Something in her eyes made me feel I couldn't look directly at her.
I rushed to my room and locked the door, ignoring my father calling outside. I cried a lot, soaking my pillow. The night grew late, and I couldn't sleep, tossing and turning. There was a feeling of emptiness I couldn't escape. I tried to comfort myself by imagining a life without my mother, without studying, thinking it would be so much happier. But that couldn’t fill the void in my mind. Was I feeling regret? Was I longing for love?
The endless thoughts made me fall asleep slowly. In my half-conscious state, I felt a warm hand gently touch my hair and tuck the blanket around me. That’s right, I was longing for that sweet, loving sensation. I immersed myself in that moment, not daring to open my eyes, fearing that if I did, that feeling would vanish, fading into nothingness, leaving only the reality in front of me. The next morning, I woke up to a house that felt so empty. Something was missing. I had to eat bread for breakfast, no rice like every other day. I hesitantly asked my father where my mother had gone. He told me she was sick and had to stay in the hospital for a week. A deep sadness took over my small mind. My mother was in the hospital—who would cook, who would wash, who would talk to me? I regretted so much, thinking it was all my fault for ruining the happiness of our little family with my anger. I was the reason she was sick. For the whole week, I was sad. The house felt lonely without my mother’s laughter. Every day I had to eat out because no one was there to cook the dishes I loved. Oh, how I missed her boiled vegetables and stew.
After a week, when my mother came back, I was the first to greet her. As soon as she saw me, she ran over and hugged me tightly. She cried, saying: “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have invaded your privacy. Please forgive me.” I was so moved, tears flooding down. I wanted to say: “Mom, it’s my fault, I’m the one to blame.” But those words were hard to say. I hugged her and cried so much. Oh, after that week, I realized just how important my mother was. Every day, my mother worked so hard, but she seemed to have magical powers. At the crack of dawn, when it was still dark, she had already prepared breakfast for my father and me. In the evening, she would cook so many delicious dishes. The meals weren’t anything fancy, just simple home-cooked dishes, but they were filled with my mother’s infinite love. My father and I felt like little birds receiving the sweetness of her love. When she wasn’t around, my father and I would make a huge mess in the house. My mother did everything with such care, cleaning, washing, and making sure everything was in order. She gave me everything, but I had never repaid her. I’ve never even told her I love her. Many times, I’ve tried to gather the courage to say those words, but I always stopped. I just wanted to say: “Mom, now that I’m older, I realize how much I love you, how much I need you. I’ve learned to love and obey you. When I make mistakes, you scold me, but I no longer get upset. I just bow my head in apology and promise never to repeat my mistakes. Whether I’m happy or sad, I talk to you so I can feel your comforting hand and see your gentle eyes. You’re not just my mother; you’re my friend, my sister… you are everything to me. I realize now that I am so fortunate to have you by my side to guide me and remind me. You wash my clothes, clean the house, and cook for our family.
Mom, you’ve sacrificed so much for me, yet you’ve never asked for anything in return. You are the best, the noblest, the greatest mother in the world. Who else could love me like you do? Who would protect me at all times? Oh, my beloved mother! I wish I had the courage to say those three words: “I love you, mom.” But I’m not brave enough, I’m too soft and delicate, not strict like you. I write these words in the hope that you will understand my heart. Please don’t think that when I resist you, it’s because I don’t like you. I will always love you, rejoice when you’re with me, and feel sad when you’re going through hard times. You are my whole world, and I just want you to live forever to love me, take care of me, comfort me, and teach me. The love of a mother is the most sacred emotion in this world. It has nurtured so many people and taught them to grow. It is you, mom, who gave me this love. That’s why I will always love you, and I want to grow up quickly to care for you. And I want to tell you: “Even when I grow up, I will always be your child. Throughout my life, your love will stay with me.”


11. Mother! The one who nurtures our family
In our family, the person I cherish the most is my mother, who has taken care of me every day, from my meals to my sleep. To me, she is a simple yet wonderful woman.
My mother is thirty-five years old, an age that is no longer young. She isn't tall but has a balanced figure, slightly plump. Her face is round and kind, bearing the marks of age, with freckles that gently hint at the passing years. The most striking feature is her big, gentle eyes. These eyes always gaze at me with loving affection, motivating me during tough times, comforting me when I'm sad, and making me feel loved and protected. They shine when I achieve good results. They look sad when I make mistakes, and they light up with joy when I do something well. Every time I look into those eyes, I feel responsible for making sure they never fill with tears.
Her skin is a little dark from years of laboring under the sun, but it’s strong and full of the scent of resilience and hard work. What stands out most about my mother is her thick, shiny black hair, which reaches down to her waist. I love helping her comb her hair every morning; it’s so smooth and thick, and looks beautiful when styled. She treasures her hair, always washing it with soap nuts, seldom using shampoo. She says that soap nuts keep her hair dark and strong. Her hands are rough but warm, with slender fingers like bamboo shoots. Every time I press my cheek against her hands, I feel an extraordinary warmth from the roughness of the calluses on her palms. At that moment, I feel immense love for my mother, wishing I could grow up quickly to help ease her burdens.
My mother is someone who always takes care of our family. Even though she works every day, she manages everything at home with great attention. Every year, she buys new clothes for me, but she keeps wearing the same old ones. When I ask her why, she says it’s because they still fit. I know it’s not just because she's simple but also because she wants to save money for the family, so I can enjoy better things. She’s incredibly frugal but always spoils us. We always have everything we want, never missing anything. But she’s also very strict whenever we make mistakes, no matter how big or small, and she punishes us severely to help us learn from our wrongdoings.
I am so happy to be her child. I promise myself that I will study hard and grow into a person who makes her proud, giving her many years of happiness.


12. A mother's love is as vast as the ocean
In our family, everyone loves me deeply, but mom is the one who is closest, caring for me the most.
This year, my mother is forty years old. With her slender and graceful figure, she radiates the elegance of a gentle mother. Her long, shiny black hair is neatly tied up. Her dark eyes always gaze at me with a loving, affectionate look. Her face is oval with fair skin. Her pink lips beneath a delicate nose make her even more beautiful. When she smiles, she looks as fresh as a blooming rose at dawn. Her hands are sun-kissed, and her fingers are slender and delicate because she has worked tirelessly to raise and guide me since I was born. Mom works in farming, but she also sews and embroiders beautifully. She made a beautiful outfit that looks both graceful and elegant. At home, mom takes care of all the household chores. She teaches me light tasks like sweeping the house and folding clothes. Dad helps her with laundry and cleaning. Occasionally, mom buys flowers to decorate the living room, making the house more beautiful.
When guests come, mom always welcomes them warmly, offering fruit and refreshing drinks. She wakes up early to prepare breakfast for the whole family so that my sibling and I can leave for school on time. When I am sick, she stays up all night to take care of me. She makes sure I take the medicine on time, cooks porridge, and feeds me spoonfuls. Despite her busy farm work, mom usually spends about thirty minutes every evening to teach me. After that, she prepares everything for the next morning, making sure the family is ready for the day. Mom is kind-hearted and gentle. She has never scolded me. When I make a mistake, she gently reminds me to correct it. It is because of her quiet, dedicated guidance that I deeply respect her. That’s my mom. Mom, I love you so much! Whenever I’m embraced by your warm arms, I feel truly happy to have you. Mom, with you, I feel joyful. With you, my heart is warm. In my heart, you are everything, the most wonderful fairy in my life. I will always love you and be proud to be your child.
A mother's heart is as vast as the ocean, and I understand that no one loves me more than you, mom. Oh, my beloved mother! I love you more than anything in this world because you are my mother. “No one is better than mom in the world…” I wish I could grow up quickly to help you with your burdens. I promise to study hard and strive to be excellent to repay you for the love and care you’ve given me to become who I am today, mom.


13. The one I love most is my mother
When I was younger, my grandmother would always tell me to cherish my mother because she is the one who sacrifices the most for me. As I grew older, I came to understand that the one I love most is, in fact, my mother.
I have memorized countless songs and poems praising mothers, but none can fully express the depth of love my mother has for me. In the past, my mother was a young and beautiful teacher. Though not tall, she had a delicate, slender figure and a graceful gait. Her long, smooth hair reminded me of the fairies in fairy tales. I often find myself gazing at her wedding photo with my father from back then. She smiled sweetly, showing off her charming dimple and sparkling eyes. My father once told me that it was those sparkling eyes that made him fall in love with her at first sight. Yet, the youthful fairy I once knew has now become a simple, ordinary mother. When I was born, my mother had to leave her beloved teaching job to take care of me. I was frequently ill, so no one else could look after me. My father worked long hours and was away all week, leaving my mother to shoulder everything. In just a few years, my mother aged significantly. Now, looking at her short, shoulder-length hair, I feel a deep sense of love and concern for her. Her forehead now shows many wrinkles, and her eyes are surrounded by dark circles from sleepless nights. Her once bright, youthful complexion has faded, now marked by patches of dark spots. She no longer has time to care for herself, as she has to look after both of us and the entire family. The only thing that hasn’t changed is her bright, optimistic smile. Despite the hardships, my mother remains positive, and people love being around her. Even when faced with difficulties, she smiles and encourages everyone to keep going.
My mother is a homemaker, but I am incredibly proud of her. Anyone who cares about their own mother understands that homemakers play a crucial role, and no work is more noble. Without my mother’s care, my grandparents wouldn’t be as healthy as they are, and my father wouldn’t have the peace of mind to travel for work. My sister and I wouldn’t have grown up the way we did. My mother doesn’t speak in sweet words, but she lives with a kind heart. She is always ready to help others without expecting anything in return. There is a poor family next door whose parents work tirelessly all day to support their child. The baby, not even a year old, had to be separated from her mother. My mother, understanding their financial situation, volunteered to take care of their baby without asking for any payment. The parents were extremely grateful to my mother and held her in high regard.
My mother is the most precious gift life has ever given me. I cannot fully express my love and gratitude for her. All I can do is promise myself to be a good child, study hard, and keep making her as happy as she is now.


14. My mother is the one who is always there for me, taking care of me the most.
We are all born with a mother. She is always the one who protects, nurtures, and cares for us in every little detail. To each of us, our mother will always be the most wonderful person. No matter how old or how she looks, she will always be our mother. For me, my mother is always the most wonderful person. I love her more than anyone else in the world.
This year, my mother is forty years old. Her slim, graceful figure adds to the elegant beauty of a gentle mother. Her long, smooth black hair is tied neatly behind her. Her dark, loving eyes always gaze at me with a kind and affectionate look. My mother's face is oval-shaped with fair skin. Her rosy lips are set beneath a delicate nose, making her face even more beautiful. When she smiles, she radiates like a blooming rose. Her hands are tan from working in the fields, and her fingers are slender and bony, showing the hard work she has done to raise and guide me from the moment I was born.
My mother works in farming, but she is also very skilled at sewing and embroidery. She can make clothes that look both graceful and sophisticated. At home, she handles the housework. She teaches me how to do light chores like sweeping the floor and folding clothes. My father helps her with washing clothes and keeping the house tidy.
Occasionally, my mother buys flowers to decorate the living room, making the house look beautiful. When guests come, she always greets them warmly, offering them fresh fruit and drinks. She wakes up early to prepare breakfast for the family so that my sibling and I can get to school on time.
When I am sick, my mother stays up all night to take care of me. She makes sure I take the right medicine on time. She cooks porridge and feeds it to me spoon by spoon. Even though she is busy with farming, she usually sets aside about thirty minutes in the evening to help me with my studies. Then, she prepares everything for the next morning to take care of the family.
My mother is kind-hearted and gentle. She has never scolded me. Whenever I make a mistake, she gently reminds me to correct it. It is because of her silent teachings that I deeply respect her. This is my mother. Mom, I love you so much. Whenever I am embraced in your warm arms, I feel so happy to have you as my mother.
I will always love you, Mom, and I am proud to be your child. Your heart is as vast as the ocean. 'There is no one as good as a mother in the world...' I wish I could grow up quickly to help make your life easier. I promise to study hard and do my best to repay your love and care, Mom.


15. Mom, I love you.
When I was young, I always wished my mom was a teacher. I wanted to experience what it would be like to have a mother as a teacher and feel proud in front of my classmates. But as I grew older, my love for her only deepened, even though she was just an ordinary farmer.
My mom worked hard all year long, always busy. Despite being just over thirty, she looked much older than her age. The corners of her eyes had deep wrinkles, yet her gaze remained gentle and bright. Every time my siblings and I made a mistake, her eyes would look at us with sternness. Those same eyes stayed awake all night when I was sick.
Mom has always showered us with her boundless love. Her eyes are also the only feature I inherited from her. Whenever someone compliments me on my eyes, saying they look like hers, I feel incredibly proud. I am her daughter! Mom’s face is also marked with dark spots from years of working under the sun. I’m told that when she was younger, her skin was flawless, always rosy. I feel a bit sad because I inherited my father’s darker skin. But the thing she is most proud of is her hair. Despite a lifetime of hardships, her hair seems ageless. It’s long, black, and shiny, the kind that even young women would envy.
I love watching her dry her hair, with sunlight glistening on it. The scent of grapefruit blossoms lingers in the air, filling the space with a sweet fragrance. Though my mom is small and quick, she walks with urgency. People often say she walks with a sense of weariness. And rightfully so, as my father was away serving in the military, and she single-handedly took care of my grandparents and raised us. The burden of the world fell on her small shoulders, and the many chores of the household didn’t allow her to move leisurely. Her hands, though slender and bony, are the most beautiful hands to me, like a teacher’s. Those hands cared for me, fed me, rocked me when I was a baby, and guided me as I took my first steps.
Mom has always been modest in her appearance. After all these years, she still wears the same old bà ba clothes. She jokes that they are both comfortable and beautiful. Only on special occasions does she wear new clothes that my father buys for her when he comes home. Every morning, no matter how busy she is, Mom is the first to wake up. She makes breakfast for us, feeds the animals, and tidies up the house. She takes care of every little detail of our lives. Even when she’s incredibly busy, every evening she still makes time to help us with our homework. Mom is our special teacher. She also taught us how to behave in life and shared the folk songs she still remembers.
Mom quietly walked beside my brother and me through life. I grew up in her immense love. In the lullabies she sang to me, I could feel the tears of love and hope. I can’t fully express how much I love her, but I know I must try my best to make her happy. The teacher said, “Among all the wonders, the heart of a mother is the greatest.” I will strive to study hard so that my mom will always smile. Mom, I love you.


16. Mom is a wonderful cook.
Every day, after work, mom gets busy with house chores. She always wants to cook delicious meals for the family, and at the same time, she wants to teach me how to cook, so she asks me to help her in the kitchen. Mom is nearly forty now. Her short, neat hair gives her a healthy, strong appearance.
She places the shopping basket down and grabs a hairpin to tidy her hair. I happily assist her with the smaller tasks. Mom hands me the rice basket, and I rinse the rice, putting it into the rice cooker and pressing the button. While waiting for the rice to cook, mom quickly takes out the ingredients and arranges them on the counter. She is skilled at selecting the freshest produce. Together, we clean the vegetables, and mom swiftly picks out any old or damaged leaves. I wash the vegetables while mom prepares the cutting board and knives for the main dishes. Mom handles the fresh fish with care, skillfully trimming fins, tails, and cleaning out the insides. She slices the meat evenly and seasons it. When the rice is boiling, mom stirs it to ensure it absorbs water evenly before closing the lid. She heats the water for the soup and quickly fries the fish and stews the meat. Thanks to her cooking expertise, in no time, a warm and delicious meal is ready. The braised meat with tofu, crispy fried fish, and a bowl of fresh greens sit on the table. I set the chopsticks and quickly call dad and my brother to eat.
As everyone eats, they compliment the meal. The empty plates show that mom is the best cook. I admire her because she knows exactly how to prepare meals that suit everyone's needs. I love her even more because her careful care has helped me grow taller and stronger. I will try my best in school to make her proud.
