Poetry by Dang Phuoc Tan: November - Words of gratitude to the mountain town

(GLO)- Author Dang Phuoc Tan wrote “November - Gratitude to the Mountain Town” as a warm sentimental piece. The poem is a clear stream of memories of student days, of those who sowed letters in the great forest. Simple yet profound, each verse is warm and imbued with gratitude.

November weather in the highlands turns cold

White mist flies, creeping through the roads

Wild sunflowers are bright yellow in the early morning sun

Call the season full of love.

Small mountain town, gentle coffee aroma

Blue smoke from the afternoon lingers around the old thatched roof

The sound of the school drum resounds in memory

Like calling back to my childhood

I miss her gentle figure with silver hair

Walking silently among the chalk dust of time

Each word is cherished in the voice

Sow in my heart the dream of humanity.

Remember that day, lift up the first page of life

Her hand guided the first stroke of the letter.

Voice warm like a summer river

Bathing my soul through the years.

Now I'm grown up, also standing on the podium

See the clear eyes of school age

Many aspirations, though time flies

Still intact as the first morning sun.

Each lesson, with so many new things

Is a belief in the future

In the middle of the mountain town, in the middle of the blue sky and white clouds

The teacher's figure is still quietly working hard

November–give thanks

To teachers, the silent ferrymen

Despite hardship, still peaceful and sustainable

Like wild sunflowers blooming in the vast wind.

Oh mountain town, the season of gratitude is back!

Coffee aroma mixed with morning smoke and golden sunshine

I bow my head and always remember

Teachers' grace is as vast as the sea and as high as the sky.
