The Wild Chrysanthemum

Rooted in the ground as being common herbs 
Either respectfully in a cemetery or  simply on a roadside
To guard the dead ones and to wait for the passers–by 

Year after year they  adhere to their own way 
And fear not the rainy and the windy days  
And  to blossom their flowers and wait  for
The shadow that floats over their head off

To light up the black soil on the silent road
And to decorate times with vitality and hope
To remind  people that life how to  continue
