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
