Across All Times

Yesteryear I lived innocent time,

As pure as the white dress I wore.

At Trung Vuong I had loved you so,

Time went by dreams stayed a while.

Then leaving youth time behind,

In new land I built new life.

We met again when I was with child,

But just once more you left my side.

Many years apart we were,

Never I ceased my thoughts of you,

Or of old times – was it long ago?

When I rode my bike to come see you.

What thrill I had one day I chanced,

To see your smile to touch your hands,

To hear your voice to laugh with you,

My time you filled – wonder and love.

Here are few verses I write for you,

A special place in my heart you hold.

Across all times of the turning world,

Always I will remember you.
