Travelblog #84 Advice from old man

Meet xiang . I dont know if i spell it right because vietnam has its own alphabet . Xiang walk slow like other old man. As he come to me , i ask him to drink coffee and we have a little good talk because he doesnt know english well. He talk very slow and most of the time i use google translate to communicate with him.

As we talk , i can put his word in a poem below ;

I didnt ask to be born ,
But , as i born in this world ,
I bring tear of rejoice to the world ,
At least for my mum and dad

I cant remember well ,
But , as i can remember ,
They give all their life to raise me up,
As good as good parent can .

We are poor ,
but we still can eat ,
We didnt have good house ,
But we still can sleep ,

I didnt get good a school ,
But at least i can read and count,
At least people dont cheat on me,
At least i can count money to buy and sell

I dont have any regret living in this world ,
People see i dont have anything ,
But i they dont know that i have everything ,
People do count money as happiness ,
But i learn that breathing is happiness ,

I live for the today ,
Even i die tomorrow ,
I leave no regret,
Because what i have now ,
Is enough for today.

Be thanks for what you have now ,
Because you cant bring anything when you dead,
Live for today , learn from the past , hope for tomorrow,
That was a secret of good life .

I pray for your long journey of life ,
I pray for your health ,
I pray for your kindness,
I pray for your love to other
And at last , i pray for you love for yourself.
