Bamboo Chair, Convey My Happiest Regards

 


This is the story

Of an old woman

Sitting on a bamboo chair

Sipping warm tea

Enjoying the dewy morning

 

She opens a box

Where she keeps photos of her childhood

Peeking into the world

Taking a step back

Tracing the mindset of “The Little Adventurer”

 

In a yellow frame

Tap-tap-tap

She imagines the rhythm of her blue shoes

Strongly supporting her two small feet

Stepping on mud

Catching frogs

Surrounded by happiness

In the rice fields at that time

 

In a pink frame

She sees one of her hands

Pointing upwards

Another hand

Holding a piece of poetry

During that sweet evening performance

 

The grandmother's little laugh

Wiping away tears of joy

Until the night took her

To a realm of endless happiness

Called the last breath of happiness

Bamboo chair, convey my happiest regards

To her, “The Adventurous Grandmother”
