A parent’s love 부모의 사랑
Artist's curation:
Is there a love greater and deeper than a parent's love?
It burns with all its heart, shaping me
both sharply and gently,
so that I can stand strong on my own.
It makes my fragile heart and mind stronger.
This is only possible because of that love.
Every moment, I grow within it.
When the harsh world tries to push me away,
it hides the deep fears and worries in my heart,
holding me close with a love so tender,
as if I were forever a soft, little child.
It embraces me deeply,
so that I don't have to feel that fear…
사랑이라 말함에 있어,
부모의 사랑만큼 크고 깊은 사랑이 또 있을까…
온 마음을 불태워 나를 날카롭게도 또 부드럽게도 빚어
단단하게 홀로 설 수 있게 만들어준다.
아주 여린 나의 심신을 더욱 강하게 만들어준다.
그건 그 사랑이 있어서 가능하다.
매순간 나는 그 사랑 안에 클 수 있다.
험난한 세상이 나를 밀어낼 때에
가슴 안에 지독한 두려움과 걱정을 숨기고
영원히 솜털같은 어린 아이인양
짙은 사랑으로 가슴 깊이 꼭 껴안아준다.
그 두려움을 느끼지 않도록…
