THINKING OF YOU
IN THE REMEMBERANCE DAY
(A poem of natural wisdom)
1
You
embrace ideals
fly toward the sun
You
hold faith
surging in the battlefields
You
adhere to beliefs
moving forward with courage
You
wisdom of life
glows throughout
2
You
spirit, strength
enters into the soul of the nation
You
pure bravery, a loyal heart
forever lasts
You
righteous force, shakes the earth
dignity terrifies the furious foes
You
compassionate blood
burns up the nation’s frontiers
You
loyal bones, gallant
rivers, lakes are in their deepest grief
You
a martyr, the soul of a fallen solider
praised by the mountains and rivers
You
the pledge brings
a prosperous land
You
a glorious death, turns into
a flying flag
3
You
truth-enlightening, good-approaching
beauty-pursuing, positive force
You
selflessness, sacrifice
great love, no boundaries
You
positioning, cultivating
conducting rightfully act as a human
You
knowing truths, understanding reasons,
learning about self, wisdom is revealed
You
a poetic life
noble, pure
You
a life with poetic values
bright, strong
You
flesh and bone disappear
sprits
forever stay
You
monuments
standing high
A thousands ages
pay tribute
