come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
those of you who aged,
shine!
brighten the path forward
for those who follow you.
let them choose their challenge,
guide them through chaos,
and lead towards wisdom.
let us remember our humble past.
let us hope for the best
in our future.
let us shine
to bring forth brighter light.

Shine like the brightest star at night
dark coldness stings,
but no matter what, shine:
smile, be kind, and love as best as you can
it’s okay if you tumble and fall
it will be brighter tomorrow.

try not to let the gifts fool you
rather than lathering yourself in gold
find discernable diet of restraint to be true;
hunger for growth, which is like fire in cold
when sprinkled like stars in dark night sky
it may shine brighter than moon above high
절제는 미덕이니
스스로를 엄격하게 대하고
가끔씩 상을 주는게
더욱더 빛나는 길이 아닌가 싶다

embrace them all,
the thorny memory you recall,
embarrassing smell that haul,
overall, the overwhelming fall
embrace them all,
foul it may appear
it won’t last forever
unless you are clever
to brighten them ever
with a smile shining to all

at one point, I forgot how fast I was running
time flew by, I just work my legs to fly
I opened my eye, realized I stopped breathing
with ease, just gasps at a time
flash of memories, bright light in the sky
warm shine from the sun, it could’ve been fun
just waiting, yes the waiting, for days to come
there will be smile, there will be warmth, there will be hope.

if I could stop the time I would’ve.
but my heart would still beat forward
enveloping the moment ever so reverberating
cherishing every grain of seconds this allows
for me to be present next to you.
the sun seems brighter than usual
perhaps those eyes that embodies the world
make this one a bit more brighter.
