The melody of the song "Mother's Dream" always makes many hearts flutter.
"Mom gradually forgets what her dream is. Mom is still busy worrying about how to have a full meal. Out there is a vast world, and Mom's world is you", the lyrics are simple yet profound, carrying the meaning of motherly love.
Singer Van Mai Huong confided that the first time she sang this song, she could not hold back her tears because her mother had to put aside her youthful plans at the age of 19 to take care of her children.
The song "Mother's Dream" tells the story of many mothers out there, when they are busy taking care of their homes, busy making a living, earning money to take care of their families and children, that "mothers almost forget how they used to be, also having dreams, dreaming of living their own lives".
Ms. Trinh Thi Kim Loan (47 years old, in Kien Thuy district, Hai Phong city) is the mother of three children. Looking back at her youthful photo, Ms. Loan cannot help but reminisce about her ambitious teenage years: "Looking back at my youthful photo, I realized that I was once beautiful, dreamed of going to university, and had ambitions. But then when I had children, I almost put aside all my personal plans to build a family and take care of my children.
After 30 years, I no longer remember the dream of that high school girl. The dream of going to university has now turned into a small kitchen and I only have one wish for my child to be happy and healthy.
When she was young, Ms. B.T.H (Vuong Loc ward, Nam Dinh city, Nam Dinh province) dreamed of becoming a reporter, but later changed her career path to working in the military.
Ms. H passed both the Academy of Journalism and Propaganda and a military school. She said that because her family was poor and she had younger siblings, she studied in the military so that her parents would not have to worry about paying tuition.
The dream is still unfulfilled, but Ms. H is happy because when her daughter grew up, she was admitted to the school she had missed. "My daughter is on the way to continuing my dream," Ms. H shared.
For Ms. Le Thi Kieu Dung (Nam Tu Liem District, Hanoi), about 20 years ago, the reason for changing careers was also to take care of her newborn child. She said: “I graduated from tourism and worked for about 2 years. But then, I found this industry hard, requiring a lot of traveling. Moreover, at that time, I had just given birth, and needed a stable job to have time to raise and take care of my child."
"The old wishes are kept as a memory by mothers", but those mothers never regret that their youth has passed and their ambitions have ended. Witnessing their children grow up and pursue their dreams is a mother's happiness and pride.
Musician Hua Kim Tuyen once confided that he considered the song "Mother's Dream" as a way to send a message and express the gratitude of children to their mothers: "After the sacrifices of mothers, let us sympathize and understand them more to love and appreciate what they are doing for us."
