For it… What Can I Do?


One day, at the midnight,

I walked alone around my house.

Down the roadway in the shadows,

there was only a light of a full moon.

Cross the path in the stillness,

there was only a whisper of wind.

That night, because it was really a beautiful moon,

I couldn’t go home soon.

The moon,

how many people looked up it at the time.

The moon has always connected me with you, living somewhere.

I looked up the moon and thought of you.

I wished simply to share peace and happiness with you.





See,

around the world,

my ears know,

in a country lacked of food,

you are crying

because you are suffering from hunger,

because you can’t give your milk to the baby.

In a country filled with food,

you are crying

because you are suffering from disease related to the eating habit,

because your little baby is crying from pain of the turned red allergic skin.


My eyes know,

in a country of battlefield,

you are wounded

because you, a boy ten years old, were forced to shoot your mother,

and with your broken heart, you became a child soldier.

In a country “at peace,”

you are wounded

because you were crushed by loneliness, competition, pride and so on,

and with your closed heart, you treated your child cruelly.



There is no end to the sad stories in the world.

And everything is not on TV, not in newspaper

because you are crying at this moment.

Then I,

you and I are witnesses, or causes of them.

And we,

we are victims at the same time.


See,

around the world,

all involves all of us.

Then, what should I do?



No,

I don’t say, let’s discuss world affairs.

I want just your beaming smiles.

I want just to smile with you.

Then, what can I do for it?



My ears remember,

on a bed in a hospital,

you told me you would recover and write a book about your life of fighting
the disease,

and wanted to encourage someone under the similar serious condition.

Your voice was full of hope.


My eyes remember,

at a refugee camp in Palestine,

you said you really liked to study at school

and wanted to be a doctor to help people in the camp.

Your eyes were shining with passion.


My heart remembers,

on a small island in the Pacific ocean,

you said you have kept to protect the blue sea,

and it just because you always and forever loved the sea.

Your heart was warm and peaceful.


And I remember,

at Lakeland College,

you told me your interests, your hobbies, and your dreams.

Your voice, your eyes--- always bright

and your faces always show good smiles.



Oh, this is what I can do. This is what I want to do.

Please tell me your dream.

If you don’t know your dream,

please tell me what you really like.

If you don’t know what you really like,

seek for it with me.



The world is huge and so complex, while I am very small and weak.

If I shout world peace, how much and what can be change?



So I shall sing a song with you

I shall talk and drink with you

and I shall smile and dream with you

you… anyone, everyone in front of me.



I believe such simple and small deed goes around and around the world,

and finally, connects to your laughter in a far country in the future.

Although I am far from my ideal,

although it might be so small things in the daily life,

it IS what I can do.









A full moon lightening the ground

The cool night air all around


I looked up and said,

the moon,

you have given us the eternal light in the dark for millions of years,

you have been sometimes a hope, sometimes a healer,

and you have always connected us, people all over the world.


But even you, such a great moon, always have a certain role.

and the moon,

you teach me,

I have only to do what I can do.

I have only to do what I want to do.



So I never forget

I shall smile and dream with my friends--- anyone, everyone in front of me.


I wish such simple and small deed goes around and around the world,

and finally, return and become your happiness.

Yes, yours.

Everyone in front of me.
