I was so happy to see Mum at the gate of the Market. Mum said in a hurry:
- I need to buy something to cook for Daddy.
She looked at me and went inside.
Oh, I need to run after Mum. But she disappered in the croud!
- Mum, Mum, where are you?
I ran around. So many people in the Market. I ran up and down the stairs. The stairs were so strange, They lead to different ways!
And everywhere people sit and lay. Nobody knew where my Mum was. I continued running and found myself in front of a beautiful gate. Inside people danced and sang. It seemed they were enjoying a party.
Somebody shouted at me: Come back! Come back right away!
I didn't listen to them. I moved forwards and asked the Guard:
- Can I come in? I want to look for my Mom here.
- No! It is not your time yet! You are not accepted here now!
He waved against me and I was moved back by his strength! Tears ran down on my face.
- What's that? I hear my husband voice. He was shaking me.
Oh, it was a dream. A dream with Mum in it. But Mum, why it is so short? I miss you. I miss you so much!

Telling Smiles
Telling Smiles
I can tell you from your smiles
That you are a pleasant one to be with
That you are happy and generous
That you have optimistic looks for life
You lift up others by your brighten eyes
When dear ones not in a good mood
The smiles mean don't give up
The smiles mean cheer up, my friends!
... Your smiles come from golden heart
Can lead people go very far
To reach the goal of life
To leave worries behind
Your smiles tell you are a great one
Sharing your love and understanding
To encourage people, a very good thing!
Come to see me, then I tell more
Your past, your present, your future life
I can tell your life from your smiles:)

Poems with nice images to use as spiritual gifts
May I wish you and your family

Good luck, health, happiness,
success and peace
Your life is full of love and
riches
Flowing laterns in the river
Wishing the beloved world

And more love for life
A smile in every breath

Let’s go and give your smiles
To make life meaningful!
Lotus smiles
With joy
Sending the aroma
From the inside
For dearest life
White petals show purity
In stead of the mud
Lotus is like a heart
Up side down
With missing pieces
Given away
Lotus is like a fire
Of compassion and sascrifice
Showing the light
A
Blue bird
On the branch
Sings a sweet song
To welcome the rising sun
I want to write beautiful
poems
For my own dearest one
I find no words
But the feeling
I love
U
The game of war
Allen told me his story:
He and his friend Tom
Played head or tails
To decide who to do the duty
To detect landmines in the field
Once, Tom covered the coin with his hands and said:
“ It is my turn today
Don’t need to care the result!
... Then Tom went away
Never came back
It was so sad
To play the game of war!

Dear Julian and Paddie,
Don't you know there was a change
The welcoming board with your names was given to me at the end
And you appeared with so big and fresh smile
To start a wonderful day
I did what I had to say
You have beautiful smiles, Paddie
That reflex the bright mind and soft heart
The day was just short
But a lot of memories
And love for peace
Thank you, Julian, for your love, your pictures and your pen
Bringing more and more precious friends
To my country Vietnam
Thank you for your poem for Lan
I like it so much
Thank you for your kindness
To help improve
My use of English I love
I will send you
Pieces of my thoughts
Wishing all the best
To Julian and Paddie
And your dearest family...
Dear Julian and Paddie,
I put my writing on my blog and rearranging it, when you have time, can you read and help me improve by giving some comment or correcting mistakes. Thanks.
Paddie, I hope you like our Vietnam's Ban Me Thuot Coffee.

--- On Tue, 4/10/12, Mediahelp - From Julian and Paddie.
Dear Lan,
Here, below, is one of my poems. It is about first love. It is about how when one has one's first love, it is uncomplicated, not sexual, but still with passion. But it must end and it will end, even though, when young lovers separate they may write to each other, the love will slowly drift away.
Some of the words and the way we write poetry may be hard for you because words have many meanings, but I hope you like it.
It was lovely to meet you and I have, at the end of this letter, written a very short poem just for you about our meeting. If I have the time to do it, I will try to help with your English writing, so do send some to us.
Lots of love,
Julian and Paddie. (Please see the two poems below: )
FIRST LOVE.
One summer, days of meaningless hours interrupting moments of precious moment,
No future sought, nothing given; no promise sought, no needs expressed,
Dark those eyes, cold those fragile hands, tall those slender forms hidden beneath the coarser cloth a fledgling wears,
No silks detract, no powder, grease nor scents,
In it's simplicity no barrier breaks the norms , no wrapping hides the cares or masks the looks or spoils the touch,
Letters bridge the distance of separation but dwindle for no reason
Words so tense and longing, yet quickly extinguished by time,
Knowing that the end is a certainty, not in a desire to end,
But in the inevitability that is an end when youth knows not of futures.
No goodbyes, no plaintive duty expressed, no last line, no last word.
Like accidental death it ends; No, like aged death it drifts away.
Where are you now? Must time have sullied that innocent beauty.?
FOR LAN ( Our new friend)
Like mist in the morning, you come to our lives, then fade away when the sun is high,
Gentle mist that washes away harsh thoughts, with song and poetry;
Gentle mist that brings calm and learning from millennia of meditation and lessons hidden from our culture;
Gentle mist that bridges two worlds, welcomes us and showers us with understanding.
Your world has suffered, but like the gentle petals of an early Spring now emerges into summer; flowering hope, a promise that all can renew itself.
And you, the gentle Mist, bathe those petals of hope with soft water nourishment,
We shall return and share our lives again.

MY NAMES
I have two names: Lan and Lân. This is why:
My father wanted to name me Lan, which means Orchid, but an officer, by mistake, put a hat on my name in my birth certificate and it turned out to be Lân, that means Unicorn.
Instead of blaming the officer for the mistake, my father was very happy to accept and thank the officer for the new name. Unicorn is a symbol good luck, happiness and nobility. Unlike the Western Unicorn, the Vietnamese one has two small inner horns and never use them for fighting. Therefore, unicorn is also a symbol of peace and humanity.
My father expects me to keep all good charisteristics of a Vietnamese unicorm:)
Daddy, I will, as you teach me, forever!

NUN DIEU HOA
Nun Dieu Hoa’s mother
is my mother's sister. To me, Nun Dieu Hoa is a good example sascrifice,
forgiveness and generosity.
Once Dieu Hoa joined
other poor children pick leftover coffee lying here and there on the ground
after the harvest. She was caught and put in an old tank. When the famer owner
walked away, other children came back and stood around the old tank, talking to
her and tried to comfort her. While Dieu Hoa was peeping through a hole of the
old tank, a little boy who was curious and playful put a stick into the hole,
right in the eye of Dieu Hoa. Dieu Hoa became blind in one eye and poor sighted
with the other.
When Dieu Hoa became
a teenager, she decided to devote her life to Buddhism and charitable cause.
With support from her family, she left home and went to different pagodas,
first as a novice then a nun, more than 20 years learning and following Buddha’s way, practice
Buddha’s philosophy and do a lot of charitable activities to help the needy.
I called Nun Dieu
Hoa:
When Dieu Hoa was a
little child, she had an accident that changed her life.
Instead of blaming
the boy or the farmer owner, Dieu Hoa and her family thought that it was Dieu
Hoa’s bad luck. She and her family tried to do best to change their life. They were very generous and always ready to
help other, though they themselves were very poor.
I am very happy to
support Nun Dieu Hoa’s charitable activities and always give her some donation
when I meet her. Lately I am very lucky with my job as a tour guide, I asked
Nun Dieu Hoa to open a bank account so I can contribute to her charitable
activities more often.
I am happy that Nun
Dieu Hoa finally listened to me. Today when the tour nearly finished, I
received a phone text mesage from Nun Dieu Hoa. I quickly read:
- Lân đầy uy vũ sức
bền lâu, phúc lộc an khang tiếp mạnh giàu. Số tài khoản của em: Nguyen Thi Thu
Hien 0081001157097. Vietcombank. Em cảm ơn chị.
Meanings: Lan (me, my
name means Unicorn) has long-lasting inner strength, enjoying good luck, peace,
properity and riches. My bank account:Nguyen Thi Thu Hien 0081001157097.
Vietcombank. Thank you.
- It is too late now.
Tomorrow I am sending you 100 USD. This is donation from a tourist client
today, and 50 USD of mine for charitable activities. I am lucky today, very
good tip! I would like to contribute for your charity to help the needy.
Nun Dieu Hoa replied:
- A Di Da Phat! I am
going to Phong Dien Commune, Phong Dien District, Hue soon and saving to bring gifts to needy
people there. A Di Da Phat, good blessings to you and your client. Thank you.
I pray good luck and
health for Dieu Hoa so she can greatly achieve her goal for Buddhism and
charity, she can bring the wonderful peace and harmony to others as her name
means.
By Nguyen Thi Lan,
tour guide
*** The donor is in one big SOUTO PARTY of OCEANIA CRUISES I guided from Chan May Harbor to Danang and
Hoian today ( 6th April 2012). We were in a hurry to be in time for
the ship departure and I forgot to ask the donor’s name. I am so sorry for this.
Early tomorrow I will forward to Nun Dieu Hoa and I am sure she will make
good use of your generous donation for charity cause.

Smiles - Nụ cười hàm tiếu
Keep smiles in your heart
And the brilliant generous look
So the sea is bluer and the sky larger
And more love for life
A smile for every breath
For your inner peace and happiness
Let's go and give smiles
To make life more meaningful
Hãy giữ trong tâm nụ cười hàm tiếu
Và ánh nhìn lấp lánh bao dung
Cho biển thêm xanh trời thêm rộng
Và cuộc đời thêm những yêu thương
Mỗi nụ cười trong từng hơi thở
Cho tâm hạnh phúc, bình yên
Hãy đi và trao nhau nụ cười
Cho cuộc đời thêm ý vị, bạn ơi!

Hội về đây mà hưởng bình An
Ông Trời rộng rãi rắc vàng đầy sông
Anh em ơi … Ta quyết một lòng
Ngọt bùi gian khó ta cùng sẻ chia

CHỊ DÂU
Chị
dâu
Hôm nay ngày kỵ mạ
Cà nhà sum vầy
Từ Canada
Anh đầu, hai cháu và chị dâu
lên mạng
Để cả nhà hội ngộ bên nhau
Dù cách xa đến nữa quả địa cầu
Thương quá chị dâu, hai cháu
và anh đầu
Mẹ cũng bay sang bên đó
Thăm con cháu, uống nước, ăn
trầu...
Hôm nay ngày kỵ mạ
Em lại nghĩ và thương quá chị
dâu
Gọi là chị, nhưng thua em đến
hai chục tuổi đầu
Mà đảm đang, tra trắng!
Mạ vẫn bảo chị dâu vô cùng siêng
sắng
Ngày chị, anh và cháu lớn về thăm
Đêm đã khuya mà chẳng chịu đi nằm
Còn lau nhà sạch bóng
Mẹ thương chị những ngày lạnh
cóng
Canada băng giá thiệt thương
Chị vẫn lên đường đi làm tất tả
Hai con dại, chồng thật thà, vất
vả
Thời lao đao công việc chẳng vào
đâu
Em cầu mong cơn khủng hoảng qua
mau
Anh có việc làm ổn định
Để cùng chị toan tính
Mua một căn nhà
Mẹ có dành dụm một chút quà
Và ngày đêm nguyện cầu cho con, dâu an cư lạc
nghiệp
Chị dâu ơi, thương chị dâu tha
thiết
Con gái làng Thanh Thủy ngoan
hiền
Thương chồng con, nghị lực vô
biên
Mẹ chồng, con dâu, sao giống
nhau đến thế!

BÀI KHÔNG TÊN VỀ MẸ
Mẹ đã đi xa, xa lắm
Nhưng để lại ánh mắt yêu
thương
Và nụ cười hàm tiếu
Con vẫn còn may mắn lắm thay
Khi trên bàn tay
Vẫn còn mang viên đá xanh của
mẹ
Ánh mắt, nụ cười, viên đá xanh
lặng lẽ
Và bao kỷ niệm yêu thương
Vẫn theo con rong ruỗi trên
đường
Mẹ là một phần quê hương
Không thể thiếu khi nói về đất
nước
Về con người bình dị Việt Nam
Dù con vẫn mong cuộc sống đi
lên
Để mọi người bớt khổ
Để những bà mẹ bớt phần lam lũ
Để những chiếc đòn gánh, đôi thúng tre, chiếc
nón lá cũ
Được xếp lại trang nghiêm
trong những bảo tàng
Để thôi những tiếng rao tội
nghiệp trên đường
Những đêm khuya mưa dầm gió
rát
Mà chỉ còn tiếng hát
Của các bà mẹ bên con bên cháu
yêu thương
Trong tổ ấm
Mẹ ơi, ngày kỵ mẹ, con vẫn đi
tua
Con chạy về nhà một lát
Rồi lại đi, lại thuyết minh,
ca hát
Và đương nhiên có mẹ trong tâm
Mẹ vẫn âm thầm lan tỏa
Hương bay xa nhiều đất nước xa
xăm
Cả mẹ và con chưa một lần đến
thăm
Đi tua xong con lại chạy về
nhà
Hình như con đã hơi già
Gối đã mõi nhưng phải còn cố
gắng
Mẹ ơi, xin hãy truyền cho con
sức sống
Để con được như mẹ
Biết thương cha, thương cả chị
em…
Biết chăm chút đàn con
Biết sẻ chia đùm bọc
Con còn phải hành và học
Tình hi sinh của mẹ với bao
người
Thật may thay con vẫn có nụ
cười
Hoa hàm tiếu nở trên môi của
mẹ
Hoa hàm tiếu nở trên môi lặng
lẽ
Và ánh nhìn da diết yêu thương
Những kỹ niêm xưa rất đổi đời
thường
Viên đã xanh, chiếc áo dài rất
cũ
Chỉ chừng ấy, đối với con đã
đủ
Để đời có ý nghĩa từng ngày…
