Xaysouvanh Phengphong Poet Rhyme

The Pink Lotus

Blooming under the sun and wind 
Displaying lovely pink petals 
Adorning muddy, stinking water
 
What a fantastic life! 
Flowers bloom upright 
Drink the murky water 
Have the wind and sun freely 
The soft nuts are yummy

The man's native family 
Cannot define a destiny 
Pink Lotus gave us a lesson 
Grow up in a stinky water 
The old home of ancestors 

Blooming under the sun and wind 
Displaying lovely pink petals 
Adorning muddy, stinking water

Pink lotus rises proudly 
Fragrance and beauty
Stand tall with courage 
Changed lives from misery 
Strike high for victory
