The poem "Sunlight Covers Every Path" by journalist and poet Nguyen Hong Vinh depicts the love between a businesswoman and a journalist, whose professions present a seemingly insurmountable barrier. A path, a fork in the road, without genuine understanding and sharing, could easily lead to separation. But through this poem, and through practical actions, the two young people have "decoded" their individual lives, creating mutual understanding. Thus, despite many "paths," sunlight still covers every direction, trees are lush and green, and mother and baby birds spread their wings. After the harsh winter comes spring with "tender green grass stretching to the horizon"...
We are pleased to present this poem by Nguyen Hong Vinh.
SUNSHINE SHINES ON EVERY PATH
He pondered the poem:
"Every path has sunshine" [1]
But why is only the color of lead swirling?
The heat was stifling and buzzing.
It was about to rain, but it seems like you stopped it?!
The home suddenly felt cold.
A lonely meal
People waiting for each other
Late at night, the food cover remains undisturbed!
I know that being an entrepreneur is a busy job.
Going out early and coming home late means restless sleep.
Night and day follow one another.
He silently suppressed his pain.
Because there was never a time to share or express...
The life of a writer
Today we go to the forest, tomorrow to the port.
The hustle and bustle of life on the construction site.
The page is filled with joy.
Filling the void of sadness and sorrow.
Then one afternoon I came home early.
She placed the newspaper on the table.
There is an article about a businessman.
Overcoming countless hardships and obstacles.
Including personal obstacles…
Tonight's dinner includes sour soup cooked with vinegar.
She eagerly picked up the fish head for him.
Jokingly, he said: "This is a gift for the person who broke the ice."
To bring spring back
And the sun has come out!
There's one thing he's still keeping secret:
Just ten more days
He will go up to receive the award.
The article I read today!
