Poem: My Family In Vietnam

The peach offers her sweetness to me.
How can I share this precious treasure with you?

In my mind, we all sit down to dinner­ arms reaching across the ocean–
I invite you to share what I have to eat.

With one thousand arms I will serve you;
with one thousand eyes I can behold you.

Wind, carry me to the table of
my hungry family in Vietnam.
