A poem on returning home again

October 15th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Whatever ...

I was going to post this because I was going to go home for vacation.  But it is not to be.  Sigh.

Coming Home by He Zhizhang

I left home young and not till old do I come back,
My accent is unchanged, my hair no longer black.
The children don’t know me, whom I meet on the way,
“Where do you come from, reverend sir?” they smile and say.
