About Chua village

May comes to Chua village*

Standing next to Uncle Ho's house, the rain suddenly stopped.

My feet step hesitantly

So close yet so far away

Temple Village.

This is where Uncle Ho went in and out.

Father's voice reading books, grandmother's voice singing lullabies

The sound of mother's shuttle weaving autumn

Listen to Uncle Ho's soul and ponder life

Here is the hammock of the past

Bamboo bed, loom weaving the words of the country

The moon is waning and then full

The old garden is still waiting.

Decades with mountains and rivers

Return to visit the person but see no one

Old house sparrow carrying prey

The sound of the neighbor's chickens echoing from the gable

May comes to Chua village

I hear the land of a season of revival

Incense sticks light up the heart

Outside the sun suddenly shimmered in the afternoon alley.

*Chua Village: Uncle Ho's maternal hometown
