A Vietnamese Woman

I met a vietnamese woman in the C.B.D
She looked little, though, but truly dainty
We talked over fates and one's lot
I found her charitable and thoughty

The buddhism allotted her classy 
Which brought the meeting a bit lucky 
I imagined she might be an embodiment 
Delivering me courages from unseen

By firm beliefs impressed me to follow 
And by intelligence and courage to win
I believed making miracles can be possible
As long as mastering the life's essence

She is an Vietnamese I've only met 
By the meeting, empathy and courage I had

A Vietnamese Woman I met a Vietnamese woman in the C.B.D., So slight in frame, yet dainty as can be. We spoke of fate, of fortune, of our lot, I found her kindly, charitable in thought. Buddhism gave her grace, serene and classy, It made our meeting feel quietly lucky. I thought she was an embodiment, so true — Delivering courage from the unseen through. Her firm belief invited me to follow, Her quiet strength to strive, to win, not wallow. She made me feel that miracles are possible, If we but master life's own essence. A single Vietnamese woman I once met, Yet from that hour, empathy and courage — kept.
