Women Like A River

HONG NGOC CHAU

1

Deep in my heart a lot of memories truly

I miss my gentle mom in my heart really

The vicissitude life of mom's life exists

Endured misery storms all are passes

2

Mom's life is like a dry river so thin

My soul condensed for the longing

I find a place to require my mom forever

Who knows when an up or down a river

3 

Who knows shallow and deep a river

If deep all of you should care forever

It would help you sharpen your mind

Think quietly to avoid all faults in life

4

You greet people and life, don't be in the hurry

If rice boils reduce the heat, rice is deliciously

Deep water shallow water depends on a reality

You should know if deep to protect the safety

5

All life tells us to be careful at bends

rivers seem to remind you of bends

Cleverly deal with the situation you see

The situation is compatible, no worries

6

All the blue rivers are like women

How to know it's down or up then

You need to know and very wisely

Take charge of situations so wisely

7

You look around at the women in charge

It is like an observer in the river in charge

Two banks sides of landslides and accretion

Know how to wriggle on river water motion

8 

In short, human life is like all the wave 

Rain and wind bring the joy of a wave 

It's up to women to manage their beliefs 

Nothing is afraid to achieve their beliefs

THE LOVING WINTER

HONG NGOC CHAU

Winter comes to the doorway when Autumn closes

Dewdrops were sparkling on leaf-lacked branches

The seasonal change harmonizing remembrance and love

The memory contains many sorrowful things without hope 

Sunshine flowers are fluttering in pale green color

The wind is going around, scenting jasmine odor

The wind whisper is like someone’s heart voice

A lot of images appear in my memory to enjoy

Not sunshine burning heart, I feel breast ache

Not cicadas sounding, I feel soulful loneliness

Vastly spreading like the sky-star breath sound

It sounds coldish, like falling clouds, slowly down

Mixing with home smoke, and the scent of the corn pot

The days of frugality, temporarily satisfied we got

The days of strenuous running for the crowded market

Like an up-and-down street hawker, cracked bare feet 

Day after night as a fate rule, the time has gone quietly

Almost full year, the loving Mother's death anniversary

In the worshipping house, the offsprings gather 

From heaven, Mom is back to warm the family atmosphere

Despite gloomy winter but humanity is fresh

Every laughter is filled with joyfulness stretch

As intertwined to remind of the past refresh

Mother worried for each child to be a success

After overcoming all hardships and adversity

From their childhood to their marriage truly

Mom is far away but she is still very close

In the mind of the filial children, this is shown
