Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

- Bethlehem Star and the Snowman -

Even if you see the world upside down 
                    We all have different ways to see the world
               Meeting people of all kinds, from different cultures
               Have a common focus, and keeping your attention

                      Fantasy and play are good in many ways
                          Why not, a snowman up and down
               Exploring alternatives, expanding the perspectives

                            Believe in the best of everybody,
                                  we belong to each other
                         Being different means you are unique
                                        Do not pass by,
                           go back and make a brand new start
                                       Just a little smile,
                      may have the ability to change a human day

                            Do you see the star far over there?
                     It is the Bethlehem Star or the Christmas Star
                              A shining beauty full of secrets
                 No matter where you are, we can look at it together
                                You, the snowman and me

                             One day the snowman will melt, 
                             but the star will always remain
