A Magic Tree

 

A Magical Tree

Year’s last months

In every family home

Nearly every place known

Streets and parks

Enjoying and decorating

One of these mystical trees

Colors of toys and lights

Magic coming that night 

and morning after

From far away 

Frosty’s secret palace

Only one time round, traveling the world

Riding, jingling of the sled 

Reindeer hooves, pushing away

With beautiful snow angels on the Earth below

Full of surprise gifts and goodies 

Man of many names

Grandfather Frost 

Or Santa or even Saint Nick

Coming to town 

Looking for the magic tree

Sparkling little eyes waiting

Wishing, anxiously wringing hands

Counting days and times

Oh, magic tree

Blessing every family

One magic moment

Beautifully decorated tree of the night

Magically shining 

Full of inviting surprise gifts

Early waking

child’s screaming, exuberating voice

Quickly opening beloved gifts

That moment of wonderful cuteness

Loving parent’s hard work paid off

Best happiness in the world

Once a year to share this moment

With this magic tree

Making the whole world happy and warm

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Birthdays

 

Birthdays

You are born to the light of the world

Time and date marked on the calendar

Celebrating once a year

With those you love

Childhood time, filled with excitement, savoring fun moments

Proud teenage years looking forward to feeling freedom

That comes with adult age

Funny happy childhood memories but you can’t go back

Goodbye to my childhood and teenage years

Reminiscent of youth

Holding it within my heart

Staying young in heart

Enjoy your celebrations

Regardless of age

Everyone enjoyed your celebrations of life

Living happily together in this world we call home

Celebrate regardless of age

Happy Birthday!

The Lonely

The Lonely

I am not a single

ordinary little woman

I married a handsome lovely husband

given two beautiful children and grandchild

I have a warm, cozy house

and own traveling vehicles

I am living in the land of opportunity, the dream country

Enjoying my life within this world

Sometimes I am secretly lonely in my heart

missing my Mom and Dad

left toward heaven, thought they’d live with us

forever

I am also missing my lovely childhood friends

in breezy old Ulaanbaatar city streets

Talking and walking enjoying the moment

Reminiscent of my childhood home

small and welcoming

No longer living under one roof forever

with my sisters and brothers

I dream about kind humanity

Hoping the kindness could come back to us

Wishing peace to settle upon the beautiful universe

From infants to the elders, appreciate this world

I wake up to the sound of chirping birds

Sometimes, nobody guesses my inner loneliness

Only I understand myself, I uplift me

Living through this life
