Poetry (Pastoral Poem): "My Countryside" by Forever Young CT

My Countryside

The land is called the rice field of dreams

With white clouds adorn the big blue sky

A flock of wild geese just passing by

From afar,  happy songs being sung

By the content voices of everyone

of those who have devoted all their lives

to nurture the life of this rice field

Look at the boy and his buffalo

Happy to be together, they are

Life is so breezy like the rice fields

so carefree like the flock of wild geese

so enchanting like my countryside

The countryside of Vietnam, it is.

The drawing of "The Countryside with Buffalo Boy" and the poem "My Countryside" were inspired by the song"Bức Hoạ Đồng Quê" of Văn Phụng and the book "A Story of Vietnam" of Dr. Trương Bửu Lâm.
