03. Daughter’s Growth Mother has made painstaking efforts to raise daughter. On the third day after daughter was born, Head Washing Ceremony was given. Feast was given by killing sheep. Sheep strolls across the wild grassland, And I hope my daughter can walk and grow up fast. Ninety-nine aunts sent their rice for best wishes That my daughter could grow up happily. Father shaved the baby’s hair, And wished his daughter could grow up merrily. All relative arrived to congratulate us. They discussed to name my daughter. Grandfather gave the formal name, While the grandmother gave the pet name. Daughter was named Golden Daughter, A gold-like name. Oh, My dear daughter, When you reached an age of one or two years, You were afraid of dirt falling into your eyes while you slept on your back. And you worried about being suffocated while having a prone sleep. I held you in my arms, And you examined my face. I fed you with milk and rice, And you considered sleeping Sheep’s skin as your playmate. You regarded threshold as your companion, Pillars as your peers, And Mother’s skirt corner as escort.
