the mother is strong

Today I was in a line of people
waiting for my bus to Kodaira.

I was on my way home.

I saw a young lady holding a baby
to her bosom and pushing a buggy
with another baby in.

How strong MOTHER is!

She was a foreigner.
She wore a hijab. ヒジャーブ.

She seemed to find it difficult
to get into the bus with her two babies,
one in her bosom and the other in the buggy.

I rushed to her and helped her board the bus.

She said “Than you so much.” in Japanese.

I asked her in Japanese where she came from.

She said she was from Pakistan.

I encouraged her saying—
「異国での子育て、大変でしょう。
がんばってくださいね。」

She said—
「はい、がんばります。ありがとうございました。」

Of course, I helped her get out of the bus.

Good luck,
Pakistani Lady!
