Going Back to My Childhood Days

"...To be full of awe, joy, and wonder..."

Going Back to My Childhood Days

I slept in the heart of the mountains
To embrace my ancestral land with love.

I played hide-and-seek with the clouds
To go back to my childhood days.

I ate a plate of the moon and stars
To be full of awe, joy, and wonder.

I sang the a cappella of a choir of raindrops
To harmonize with the rhythms of freedom.

I danced with the sunshine of summer
To protect the farms of my youth.

I hugged the giant bark of the oldest tree
To honor the sacrifices of our peasants.
