Age nearly eighty-four already!

Before he was still strong, now just weak

Forgetfulness, an illness of long standing

But now, joyfully, strength has recovered more than before!

Luckily there is medicine to spare

The hospital devoted, morning noon and evening

Helping George meet the goal

Standing and walking again, just as hoped

Eating and drinking, healthy at heart

So it is very joyful, all that awaited hope

Betsy caring for him, a dream

To Sơn, always remembered, how could one be indifferent

Amy, Robert coming and going

Inquiring, helping, the wish fulfilled

Costco, going shopping, sharp-minded

Eating pizza heartily, good news, oh joy

Praying George be well, don't just sit

Sơn too keep your strength, lest it fail

In old age still healthy is like a fairy

Old age, joyful and healthy, no money can buy!

Four years of hard study

Now grandchild passed, the honor roll is clear

His parents are so joyful!

So immediately organized, inviting to sit and eat together

Friends in crowds sent word

And also relatives all came

Rejoicing that grandchild is so clever!

Having passed, with a job, so delighted!

Wishing grandchild health day and night

Good work and job, eagerly advancing

Then later able to help loved ones

Parents first, kindly help right away

In future, help the country day and night

Help so as to fulfill the upright whole heart

Hold high the word filial-piety as a child

His parents will live to a full hundred years!

Fifty years of marriage have passed,

Four sons, six daughters, enough to be content,

Sweetness and bitterness have been abundant,

Merit full and great, gratitude full and much.

Through sun and rain the heart never wavered,

Determined to unite, many things helping,

War is why we came to a far land,

Migrating we had to find a way to survive.

Sons and daughters, in-laws, descendants,

Dig the river, river flows; build the mound, mound rises.

Humble, without pride

Heaven above has understood, the labor takes form

How joyful the beautiful result

Bless father, bless mother, loyal love steadfast.

Rejoicing that aunt has reached old age

But strength still comes and goes, healthy and cheerful

The grandchildren diligent indeed

Caring for one another completely

[?], everyone like everyone

Coming to care for, long days long nights

[?], four daughters by the porch

Already understood, but the home is warm and peaceful

Fully filial but still worrying ahead

A hundred more would be precious indeed

Tuesday, Thee sleeps at this house

Helping mother to have company in old age

And Trang still young

Busy with work by day, making a living

Anyhow at night returning to talk

Help so that mother may rest peacefully and sleep [?]

Husband and wife Luyến/Thư, dear grandchildren

Nearly seventy years old, living life in Ha Long

One son and two daughters born

Have made their families, the wish satisfied

But the youngest lady, how hard!

Over ninety years old, can hardly stand or sit

Eating and drinking is the first concern

Also spending endlessly, so much

Children and grandchildren help carry, help serve

That is truly a blessing given

Helping their mother be worthy

Hoping grandchild also has enough care

Advising the mother to live long

Making the children and grandchildren also follow suit

Even if the family circumstances become poor

Poor but good-hearted, people follow in droves!
