The son replies to his mother exposing his true self
The Reply of the Grass Hopper (sequel to "My Grass Hopper in the Summer)


You are mistaken mom,
My favourite is Hard Rock
which you too like.

When you think that I am inactive,
my mind is highly active,
thinking of unlimited possibilities
of mixing music.

So don't bother to compare me
with other ordinary kids,
'cos I am unique.

I feel the weight in your heart
and the grief in your eyes.
Give me time, mom
that's all I ask.

Like me, face the challenges.
Keep your head high and walk
like a queen among crowds.

You have nothing to be ashamed of,
because I love you very much
and one day I will make
you real proud and till then
give me time mom, give me time.
