静静的夜里，年轻的妈妈抱着刚出生的宝宝，轻轻地摇着，温柔地唱着：我永远爱你，我永远疼你，在妈妈的心里，你是我永远的宝贝。

渐渐地，宝宝长大了，他会淘气，他会乱跑，他推倒书架上的书，把妈妈的手表丢进马桶里冲掉。妈妈气得大叫受不了。可到了晚上，妈妈会悄悄地走到床邊，轻轻地摇着，温柔地唱着：我永远爱你……

这是献给母亲的经典绘本。在母亲节到来时，读读绘本，再和妈妈一起品味那些美好的亲子时刻吧。

A mother held her new baby and very slowly rocked him back and forth. And she sang： Ill love you forever， Ill like you for always. As long as Im living， my baby youll be.

The baby grew. He pulled all the books off the shelves. He took his mothers watch and flushed it down the toilet. Sometimes his mother would say， “This kid is driving me crazy！”

But at night， she opened the door to his room， crawled across the floor， picked him up and rocked him back and forth： Ill love you forever， Ill like you for always ...

He grew until he was nine years old. He never wanted to come in for dinner. He never wanted to take a bath. Sometimes his mother wanted to sell him to a zoo！

But at night， when he was asleep， the mother quietly crawled across the floor， picked up the boy and rocked him back and forth：

Ill love you forever， Ill like you for always ...

He grew until he was a teenager. He had strange friends and he wore strange clothes. And he listened to strange music. Sometimes the mother felt like she was in a zoo！

But at night， the mother still came into his room， picked up that big boy and rocked him back and forth：

Ill love you forever，

Ill like you for always ...

He grew until he was a grown-up man. He left home and got a house across town.

But sometimes on dark nights， the mother got into her car， and drove across town to his house.

And softly she sang： Ill love you forever， Ill like you for always ...

The mother got older and older.

Her son came to see her. She tried to sing the song： Ill love you forever，Ill like you for always ...

But she couldnt finish

because she was too old and sick.

The son went to his mother.

And he sang this song：

Ill love you forever，

Ill like you for always.

As long as Im living，

My mommy youll be.

When the son came home that night， He stood for a long time at the top of the stairs. Then he came into the room where his new baby was sleeping.

He picked her up in his arms，  and he sang：

Ill love you forever，

Ill like you for always.

As long as Im living，

My baby youll be.

书中平实的文字，道尽了母亲对孩子深沉、无私的爱！“我永远爱你，我永远疼你……”当这旋律在心头响起，谁的眼睛不会瞬间变得湿润呢？让我们懂得珍惜伟大的母爱，对自己的妈妈大声地说出：“妈妈，我永远爱你！”
