Mother, who gave me birth, and brought me up.
Mother, who works through day and night without rest.
Although you nag and scold, whenever I need your help you are always there to side with me.
Mother, you always pray earnestly for the well-being of your children and family.
Precious, noble, mother.
No famous personality or politician deserves as much praise as you, a nameless mother, does.
Even if no one should acknowledge you, I will. Unto you I would like to bestow, my highest commendation, my deepest gratitude.
- Daisaku Ikeda
Japanese text:
自分を産み、育ててくれたお母さん。
昼も、夜も、休むことなく働き続けてきたお母さん。
いつも口うるさくても、いざという時は必ず守ってくれたお母さん。
わが子のため、家族のために、ひたぶるな祈りを重ねてきたお母さん。
尊い、尊い、お母さんです。
どんな有名人や、政治家をさしおいても、無名のお母さんこそ、たたえていくべきです。だれがたたえなくても、私は最大に賞賛し、感謝の心を贈りたい。
