Grace onto life - Trinh Cong Son

One day I saw you walking down the street
I felt (a) sudden bliss as if life was magic
I found myself trailing your distant footsteps
Like leaves spinning words on your path
I found myself a drop of sunshine
Warming your lips rosy gracefully

Lips enchanted like finch singing
Sandalwood hair embalming your shoulders
I heard life so immense
Exuding from those serene steps

Let dawn rise to the rhythm of your gait
Let your flowing gown bring grace onto life
You are the fragrant dust sprinkling the forest
You are the song celebrating this life
Tucked in this town someone thinks of you
Dreaming his paradise the night through.
