Hope To Back

Start your anchor boat steersman Sun declines in the west The new wife awaiting on the near bank Hope to return to own land That free air unbound movements The rice cake and Cares of blood. Go, boatman! She is lonely Maybe she is crying To back home; To forget old memories Maybe the husband left her She is surmounting a difficulty Cross the river safely helmsman She has to reach her lap She needs love again

Ah-the plight of so many who have to travel away from home. Do you have experience with that? Displacement is a very tough thing for people that we seem not to understand in this land of riches and comforts.
