Look at the moon in the midst of <br />Vastly magnificent sky bed; <br />Hear the young winds among bamboo; <br />Feel the air – heavy with fragrance. <br />Families always are blessed! <br /> <br />While parents rest in the grove, <br />Drinking green tea, reading poems, <br />House’s alive with commotion: <br />Children are busy with homework <br />Wishing the newborn won’t cry. <br /> <br />If you enjoy this lifestyle, <br />You will achieve true fulfillment. <br />Why strive for fame and money <br />When you believe that your children’s <br />Life must be longer than yours.<br /><br />Nikolai Stepanovich Gumilev<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/annam/
