Hearing news of the children and grandchildren today

Flying from Atlanta, arriving here wanting a car

Caro (Carolina) in the north, a gathering

Family and relatives, plenty of shelter, gathering together

Twenty people from Hét (Houston) all together

Coming to visit brother Thắng, mournfully sick

His wife, the eldest brother at the head

The big family sympathizes, the situation shared together

Wishing brother, the illness lessens completely

To live happily together, with wife and children

So the grown daughter no longer wearies,

Also be satisfied, father and children living together

Praying to Heaven, to God in general

help brother Thắng be free of all sorrow and worry

So the wind favors and the boat sails smoothly

So brother Thắng is well-fed and content

So brother is joyful always

So the family circumstance is fulfilled, wishing brother

So the tree is good with firm branches

So the leaves stay green and the sky stays blue forever!

Thanks to the lady and the whole family

Sending wishes for long life together with fresh flowers

Đoan on behalf of everyone

Speaks words of celebration, fresh flowers already offered

So many words, oh how loving and joyful!

The fragrant beautiful orchid, indeed a person long remembered

This affection remembered forever in the mind

Wishing the two families lasting and everlasting happiness

May twenty-fourth, western calendar

Houston, Texas, this matter to note:

Suddenly hearing a booming sound

A traffic accident, the matter turned bruised already

Three cars just speeding along

Car three accelerates, rushing forward more

Ramming right into the car ahead undaunted

Car two is pushed, ramming into the lead car

Three cars scattered like the Ngâu (rain-drenched)

Luckily people only had headaches and sore legs

The hospital luckily was nearby

Sad because of the crash, but keep the spirit joyful now!

Mother and father, images already worshipped

Hồi, Dần, bought, displayed by the photograph

Mother and father, if you have sacred spirit

Bless the sons, daughters, our children to be better

Bless them against rain and sun undaunted

Bless them with firm will, climbing relatively

Daughters and sons, now orphans

Praying for shelter, protection, waiting in hope

Remembering when I had to have heart surgery

Remembering the flowers you gave, the sky, my red heart

So I live on again for so long

Now a hundred years, a whole life as husband and wife

The flowers you kept, so much effort

To celebrate long life for us, husband and wife

Remembering forever a hundred years, standing and sitting

Thanking the dear friend for our whole married life

That Heaven has clearly shown your heart

The friendly affection, the persimmon kept in mind

Your heart fragrant like agarwood incense

Praying Heaven protects Sam, heart shining bright

Remembering when studying was arduous

Remembering the resistance war, poor and short of food

seeing father, seeing mother toiling hard

But the heart only thought of resolving to fight the enemy

so they had to establish a war zone

So many years of resistance, the enemy surrendered

success, not yet able to be merry

Still need to build, competing among villages

Hoping for Vietnam to be prosperous

Freedom, democracy, only then the heart is at peace.

The flock of chickens has a bad one

Because following the neighbors' words, imitating greedy eating

Looking wrongly, thought there were still eggs

Eating full, belly swollen, becoming fierce and angry at life

Already done, there is a time, in the era

Regret is too late, because of one or two of us

It is also a lifetime in this mortal world

Hoping the two words "Forgiveness" soothe the heart

Twelve zodiac animals each year

This year, Rooster, meaning the year of the chicken

the rooster has crowed far and near

Rise immediately in order to compete

Compete, do it right, don't joke around

When doing, must win, don't lose, that is success

How to make the effort worthwhile

correct intent, reserved to help the people

Helping the people, helping the country is necessary

Doing so that the people are pleased, meaning the people benefit.

Five nights again missing the child

Reading poems again recalling when the child was born fresh

So much hope within the person

Only hoping the child always studies well

Studying to achieve fame

Worthy of the parents' effort saved to help the child

Praying to live and behave completely

Until truly old, the good child

Now the mother has grown old

Hoping to meet again, it is truly difficult

Day and night praying Buddha to bless now

So the child is happy and joyful

Tonight there is an unusual matter

Restless, deciding a matter of love

The mind is haunted near and far, going home

The eyes grow drowsy, ending the poem business

Onto the bed, legs stretched, eyes dreaming

Sleeping a sound sleep exceedingly well

But the mice and bugs, stop, stop

The foot painfully stiff, must stop sleeping

Immediately sitting up, no more sleep now

Off the bed, pacing a while, the mouse flees

Suddenly hearing a sound

Turns out Sơn returned to the source last night

So no more sleep, awake

Again writing poetry, perhaps to end the sadness.
