You don't misunderstand a flower

that doesn't smell.

You do not misunderstand a bird

that cannot sing sweetly.

Don't throw away the fruit

that doesn't appeal to you.

Don't throw away a poem

that doesn't appeal to you.

Do not neglect him who is

the companion of your sorrows and joys.

Do not neglect him

who witnesses your joys and pains.

 Summer fall leaves remind

you of your reformation time .

Adolescence and coming-of-age days

in childhood mark the difference in your past life .

Those past golden days are passing

day by day away from you somewhere else.

At the end of age one wants to go back

to those old golden days with endless happy memories.

I thought that I would never be able

to go back to that golden day in that happy life .

Going slowly by the laws of nature

where my ancestors have gone,

thinking that someday

I too will have to follow their path
