Still remember(记得) the following poems? Memories return every time I read or hear them.
Hush now, my little one. Hush now, my sunshine. Hush now, piece of my heart. Go to sleep, my little one. Go to sleep, my love. Go to sleep, piece of my heart. Sleep, my little one, While I sing to you. Sleep, my little one, Who is already asleep. | My mama feeds me. And washes my fur(皮毛). The first thing I see every morning is her. The last thing I kiss every night is her face. My mama is the very best one. And sings like a bird. And knows how I feel, when I don't say a word. My mama is warm. | I can set the table. I can sweep the floor. I can wash my clothes, And count to forty-four. I can wash dishes. And clean my bedroom. There is so much I can do. Now ask you. |
