For My Anna Poem by Lawrence Hiung

OH, DEAREST MY ANNA.
HOW DO WE MEET? BY FATE OR COINCIDENCE?
YOU AWAKEN ME TO SEE BEAUTIFUL DAYS AHEAD.
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL FROM THE OUTSIDE.
AND YOU'RE ALSO BEAUTIFUL FROM THE INSIDE.

A FRIEND IS SOMEONE, WHO KNOWS
THE SONG IN YOUR HEART.
AND CAN SING IT BACK TO YOU WHEN
YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THE WORDS.

A TRUE FRIEND IS AN ANGEL SENT BY GOD.
A TRUE FRIEND, STANDS BY YOUR SIDE,
THROUGH THE BAD AS WELL AS THE GOOD.
AND LOVE YOU WHEN YOU DON'T LOVE YOURSELF.

MAY YOU FILL YOUR DAYS WITH KINDNESS, GENEROUSITY, HAPPINESS, AND PEACE.
WE MAYBE OUT OF SIGHT, BUT NOT OUT OF MIND.
I'LL REMEMBER YOU IN THIS POEM, WHICH
I WRITE ONLY FOR MY ANNA.
