Received a poem from an old friend - now old - sent to me, the poem sounded so sad, as sad as her life that I learned when I visited her a few days ago... That day she asked me to take a few photos of her to keep as a souvenir because she didn't have any new photos. She quickly chose a shirt she was proud to wear... this scene reminded me of Scarlett hurriedly grabbing the curtain to sew herself a so-called new dress to go meet Rhett Butler like in the story "Gone with the Wind".
The outfit was not new and not very pretty, but it made her different and reduced the appearance of her current illness... Although it was difficult to move, she still tried to slowly pose, cheerfully in her not-so-lush garden... Then we went to the banks of the Kon River to take some photos by the gentle and beautiful river next to the leaf-shaped dam that is quite famous in this small town of martial arts... She looked so happy to have a set of photos for herself... I also felt happy somehow. After that, I returned to the city, leaving her alone in her small house with a simple garden. Although there was not much, I also felt happy because I did something useful for others...
On the days of the transition in the Lunar New Year 2025, I was free so I sat down and wrote this song from that poem to send to that old friend. I hope that with the photos that I have selected and edited, along with this song, which I have deliberately written in a flexible melody, they will awaken her "survival instinct", overcome all difficulties and find a good solution to cure the disease she is suffering from to change her life. Otherwise, she will have to endure a life of loneliness and illness like this forever. I also know a little about her courage, surely she will overcome... I wish her to overcome !
This is her poem :
