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.
