a small little traveler’s tune to sing as you return home (莲花)

as i am travel bound, / wait for me to come home. /

keep my name in your gardens, / and i’ll keep yours as i roam. /

for as gold is to a flower, / and as luster is to a jade, /

i may be gone now, / but soon, i’ll be back to stay. /

time has helped us, / so now, let us share our pain: /

for all we’ve changed, / the best parts of us remain. /

like the lotus that blooms / in the hardiest of places, /

our love is one crafted / to last through the ages.
