A Little Gift

Little sister says "Hello, how are you chị?"
The gift is made of neither silver nor gold as it is only a poem that em gửi gấm "Tâm Tư,"
Crafted bookmark em had beautifully put, carrying Hà's thoughts of all.
Thank you em for a grateful heart!
Proud being a big sis of yours.

Writer's Notes
This first somewhat semi-bilingual poem was written about a month ago in thanking Hà, a sister friend, for a simple, yet thoughtful gift that she gave.
Literally, Vietnamese "chị" means "older sister" and "em" means "younger sister".

Peace on Earth

Peace rains on earth today
God is with us, Emmanuel!
