“May I reward your affection, Mother”

“May I reward your affection, Mother”



May I cure your serious ailments

With my diligence and industry, Mother.



Give me ability

that tempt those who

disregard the debt of gratitude, Mother.



I dare to face

any oncoming danger…



It is no peculiar for me

to think of dying in any way.

I know all will pass away in life, Mother.



You all will be happy surely

When my dreams come true.



I pay no mind to their

condemnation,

ridicule,

hate,or

defamation, Mother.



I long passionately for the praise

that I am your true and worthy daughter, Mother.



I wish to be only a person

who deserve your gratitude, Mother.



Aung San Suu Kyi
