come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
in all you do, think, and say,
may you embrace kindness, generosity,
and righteousness.
let each action and thought
weave connections of hearts,
embraced in gratitude and respect.
may there be peace in your heart and mind
for a long journey into the unknown.

it’s like building a castle
but it could be a house of cards
if you are not careful
to focus all your attention
meeting each person as who they are
instead of what you think they should be
greeting them with a calm smile
letting them go with a serene gratitude
slowly, a page of life is written, as the sun sets
it takes all of your energy,
all of your attention.
but when you feel its presence
you may wonder of profoundness:
a work called life.

who are you?
subtle hints you drop here and there
always on point, to the essence of the matter
who are you?
there’s one name who comes to my mind
but they have been unresponsive in awhile
should this be a pandora box not to be opened,
I will respect your will,
but my curiosity looms larger each passing day.
who are you?
the way you read through my thoughts
even deeper than I had realized,
and response so thoughtful
I am honestly humbled.
should you remain anonymous,
I will respect your wish,
but I hope at least you know
I am grateful for your presence.
you’ve been a good support for me.
thank you.

I do apologize
for my sleep deprived ramblings
I needed an outlet,
but I went tidbit too far
I am grateful for your kind heart
and share your earnest thoughts and tips
Thank you for sharing your time
your presence has been felt,
and I do not treat it lightly.
Should you require a pair of ears
that will open to your own outlet
I promise, mine are booked for your needs.
Now that my eyes are clear,
I see how kind you were.
I am grateful for unprompted generosity
and will repay in kind.
I hope the night is treating you well
and the morning greets you warmly.

I am grateful
that I have lived
yet another day
my thoughts,
not as concentrated as past
yet survives
more to be understood,
hidden behind veils,
while I enjoy this trip
I am grateful
for every step
towards bright fulfillment bouquet

I did not know I’d be here 5 years ago
I had felt as though I was completely lost
lost in ocean as dark storm raged on
I only had a life vest to hold onto
who would have known it would be seen by others
who would have known I’d be boarded
onto this new world, world so bright
as I take one more step, I pray to pay my gratitude
오직 감사함만이 있을 뿐.

do not despair in knowing all that work is
for this one serving of red spicy rice cake.
do not look down on this red spicy rice cake.
do you know that with each piece of rice cake,
dreams, sacrifices, and tears of chef were spilt?
do you know that with each piece of rice cake,
you can find a piece of your childhood memory?
so do not despair in knowing all that work is
for this one serving of red spicy rice cake.
it is a good, delicious one.

I sometimes imagine what it would be like to have myself as a kid;
a young kid, who depends on me,
who asks me for stuffs that I don’t want to buy,
and who rebels against what I believe in.
maybe I’ll get upset,
maybe I’ll try to persuade the kid,
or maybe I’ll try to manipulate the kid.
so when I see my own parent
be so real with me,
be so honest with me,
and be so pure-minded with me,
my fists melt in gratitude,
my head bows in humbleness,
and my heart swells in love.
It is true:
I am grateful for my parents.

let me find meaningfulness in my work.
let me find my purpose in a human society.
let me find love in daily tasks.
let me find humbleness in my presentation.
let me find joy in diligence and resilience.
let me find gratitude for my opportunity.

the only source of strength to endure dark nights
was a stream of light I had glimpsed
through the dark stormy clouds
when you showed grace through sacrifice
and placed a piece of faith in me.
I fought the fights, endured blistering scars,
and walked miles upon miles of roads
because of this gem of blessing.
allow me to bestow this also upon you
to protect you throughout your journey.
may you find peace in hardships
may you find joy in all you do.
