9. Inventory
Living half a century
Allows me to perceive
The beauty of my life
The test of growing up
The relief to obtain a degree
The pleasure to travel the world
The excitement of getting married
The miracle of being a happy mother
The delight of having an artistic daughter
The blessings of a talented son studying abroad
The honor to serve my church and the community
The acceptance to realize what I have and don’t have
The challenge to publish my memoir in a foreign language
The desire to finish my Bilingual Children Book Collection
The pleasure to publish my first Bilingual Poetry Book
The chance to be me and the energy to live one more day…
Thank you Lord!

8. What do we need?
We need a space,
To subsist in harmony,
Is this a real place?
We need a place,
With hope and faith,
Do you know this space?
We need a space,
To rest and enjoy,
Is this a fantasy?
We need a fantasy
To maintain hope
Why not to dream?
We need a dream
To keep living
What else do we need?

7. Oatmeal in Heaven
A simple meal
Reminds me of early days
Uncomplicated mornings
Simple as oats
Pour, mix, stir, and wait
Nothing else
Straightforward meal
Simple as oats
Here I am preparing oatmeal
My mother’s breakfast
Unsophisticated woman
Simple as oats
I miss her so much
Every lone day
Mixed emotion feelings
Simple as oats
Images of Heaven
Images of Love

6. Summer Breeze
Tell me gentle wind
Is it at last hot summer?
I can feel warm air
Announcing he is coming
Wet, tan, fun, in the offing
