THIRTY-FIVE

I ain't got no money
But I got some time
What's mine is yours
and what's yours is mine
We are what we are
No need to apologize
Now tell me what you have in mind

♥

You know I do
I do love you
지쳐가는 모습도
작아져가는 그대 뒷모습도
사랑해요
I do love you
Every litte piece of you
Every little piece of you
사랑해요

♥

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings
The future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

♥

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Oh images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, never forget
These images

♥

차가운 도시 위에 퍼져가는 이 밤
그대와 나만의 꿈을 위해서

♥

em yêu anh.
anh có yêu em không?

BA MƯƠI BỐN

Em nhớ anh
thật là nhiều,
anh có biết không?

Những ngày vui ấy
đi đâu rồi?

Kể cho em nghe
những câu chuyện vui của anh đi.

Xin anh
đừng đi xa.

Hãy đợi cho em, nhé?
hãy đợi cho em.

THIRTY-THREE

Tell me:
how does the world work?
Why does it spin so,
forever turning,
forever moving.
Why does the sun rise every day
and set every night?
Why does space move
with the flowing fabric of time?
Why does everything seem to happen without notion,
continue without thought,
and constantly, constantly advance,

and yet
we are still here,
still in the same place as yesterday,
as a thousand yesterdays ago?

Does it not concern you,
does it not bother you,
does it not affect you,
to think about the future,
to think about how all are interrelated?

A thousand thanks and praises should flow from you daily,
for the stable loving family,
for the considerate loving friends,
for the gifts that have been given to you
from the one that is highest.

And yet,
here you are,
pining, desiring, reaching
for the lowest, mistake of a creature.

What good does it do you to include me
in your life,
in your love,
in your happiness?

Do I not bring grief?
Do I not bring sorrow?
Do I not consume energy and time?

My selfish thoughts and actions
are what causes dissent.
The hurtful words I spit
are what causes pain.

But even more selfish,
even more hurtful,
even more paining
than the harsh bite of my words
is the ingratitude I see
every second
of every day.

This narrow scope of yours
is so sheltered,
so blocked,
so naive,
so fresh to this world,
how can you possibly understand pain,
sorrow,
fear,
emptiness?

I had to dig,
scratch,
claw my way through the nasty mix
of emotions and thoughts.
Those dark times were some of the most difficult.
To even just hope for a better life,
for one filled with happiness,
where all are content
was unthinkable.

But we pulled through,
we banded,
and we prayed constantly
for the help we could not receive anywhere else.

That is just the start,
love,
of a truly new beginning.

How many countless hours
were spent on pondering life,
to conclude with one value,
one moral of mine?

The same cannot be said of all,
but this level of understanding,
this level admired so,
must take time.

Be patient,
for if He truly deems it,
it will happen.

Turn to Him,
call to Him,
and ask
for that forgiveness,
for that intelligence,
for that knowledge,
for that understanding,
you so crave,
in this forsaken world.

weeks too many this injustice has existed.

Lạy Chúa từ nhân

Xin cho con biết mến yêu và phụng sự Chúa trong mọi người.
Lạy Chúa xin hãy dùng con như khí cụ bình an của Chúa.

Ðể con đem yêu thương vào nơi oán thù
đem thứ tha vào nơi lăng nhục
đem an hoà vào nơi tranh chấp
đem chân lý vào chốn lỗi lầm.

Ðể con đem tin kính vào nơi nghi nan
chiếu trông cậy vào nơi thất vọng.
Ðể con rọi ánh sáng vào nơi tối tăm
đem ủi an đến chốn u sầu.

Lạy Chúa xin hãy dạy con
Tìm an ủi người , hơn được người ủi an.
Tìm hiểu biết người, hơn được người hiểu biết.
Tìm yêu mến người , hơn được người mến yêu.

Vì chính khi hiến thân, là khi được nhận lãnh.
Chính lúc quên mình, là lúc gặp lại bản thân.
Vì chính khi thứ tha , là khi được tha thứ.
Chính lúc chết đi , là khi vui sống muôn đời.

Ôi, Thần Linh thánh ái
Xin mở rộng lòng con , xin thương
ban xuống những ai lòng đầy thiện chí
ơn an bình.

Xin hãy cầu nguyện cho bình an đến với đất nước Việt Nam mình.
