It is early Sunday morning
at St. Luke's Hospital. In the maternity ward.,

Where I adored this beautiful face ---
What a wonderful, amazing, astonishing place.,
With such a pretty smile and face.,

Before I could cry out to your pretty face.,
An angel in a blue coat took you from our place.,

I began to cry out:
Where are you taking this pretty face?

I cried, cried and cried.,

Next. The angel in the blue coat. Took me from our place.
Can this angel be taking me back to your pretty face?

But no!

This angel took me to another pretty face.,
Everyone kept calling this pretty face, “Mommy, mommy, mommy...”

For the next twenty-three years.,
While I did my growing and learning.,
Mommy was my only pretty face.,

It is early Sunday morning at,
St. Luke's Presbyterian Church.,
Sitting there, in the church pew.,
I see a pretty face.,
I cry out, “Have I ever met you in another place?”,
The second day we met!

I'm thinking about you right now;

Are you feeling well?
Are you smiling?
Are you laughing?

I'm thinking about you right now;

Are you sad?
Are you crying?
Are you lonely?

On this sleepless night,
I'm thinking of you,

My heart misses you,

I was thinking today,
When I reached out my hand, you are not there,
To catch me, when I fall,

My heart misses you,
Each and every day.

On the morning of a warm June day,
Quite by accident.

Feelings of fascination and intrigue
came over me.

I looked and did see,
beautiful pink roses in front of me.

The more I looked, the more I learned
The more I wanted to know.

I looked and did see a white tiger,
Walking past me.

The more I looked, the more I learned
The more I wanted to know.
Because the more I knew, the more I liked this
place where tigers roam among roses.

I looked and did see my future,
In this fascinating place.

I only see me in the photograph;

You left without a goodbye!

Have I torn our dreams apart?
Leaving me! With a lonely future,

I only see me in the photograph;

Have I torn our hearts apart?
Leaving, a pain in my heart,

I only see me in the photograph;

I have to forget the past,
Toss this torn photo in the trash and,
Move on at last.

Love that can fill us up make us whole and give us happiness.
Does not mean saying, "I love you." Do
Not mistake the feelings, of imitation love for true love.

Always remember. True love does not
Mean having money, anger, ***, alcohol, violence, power, approval from others.
Saying, "I love you." Does not always mean love is true.

I want the love in my heart to be always true.
Love true with
You means. Giving to you all of my heart and soul unconditionally.

The Juju-do endures like a dreamy beer,
Never hate a Jespi,
Seas endure like big beaches Loveland,
Love is a cool breeze.

Never pull a haenyo divers  fishing net,
The small girls roughly commands the sea,
The haenyo divers  Mermaids endures like a warm ship,
Desolation, life, and endurance!

Clouds wave!
Why does the highest mountain hide?
Where are the lively grandfather stones?

Adventure, faith, and love,
Unreal, sunny and chocolate candy too.

All mainlands fight rough, misty winds,
Dreamy shore roughly loves the sun.

Adventure, courage, and life!

Jeju Pony 'Hidden Treasure.”

Sails fall like lively Olle walking trails.
Travel roughly like an island reef,
The sunny ship calmly views the trails.
Sunrise from a volcanic crater.

Sunny fields of barley.

The sun waves goodnight, like a sunny gull,
Sun falls!

Courage, dreams and faith,
Oh! The wonders I have seen!
Jeju-do

Looking at the cloudless sky, filled with stars
I feel so like I'm flying and strange sometimes,

We live in different times,
Different worlds,

Yet you and I meet,
Alone in our secret place
A mystical, magical, peaceful place,
Where, flowers smell so sweet,

Where we dance and, dance, all night long,
Until the misty morning daylight,

Looking at the cloudless sky, filled with stars,
I hear the roar! of a sports car,

Only a dream.

I haven't been able to remember a dream about Korea in a while. However, this one came back with a vengeance.

Walking along the streets in Seoul Korea.
Not sure where. Maybe Itaewon because of all the young women I saw shopping and wearing black hip-hop caps.
If this wasn't odd enough. They were all wearing the exact same clothes.
As it turns out. I had woken up sitting on the sidewalk and stood up. I looked around and saw shops. All of the woman walking past me were wearing hanbok (traditional Korean clothes) with a white blouse and pink skirt with pink and white roses in the middle of the blouse. They all had black caps that did not let me see their faces. The caps all had the word  'Boys' printed on them. As the woman walked past me, they would point their finger at me and laugh and say something that I did not understand.
I looked down to see If I was dressed or not. I was dressed in a suit and tie. I guess I thought I was naked.

The next thing I know. I'm being dragged inside a shop by two elderly women. One who looked like my mother and the other looked like my grandmother. Both are no longer with us.  Yelling at me in the Korean language and pointing to a table with a hanbok outfit on it. There was an ocean blue shirt, purple pants, and slippers with a black robe.
They keep yelling at me and then start trying to undress me. The next thing I know. I'm wearing the hanbok outfit.

The two woman then show me to the door bowing, crying and saying
Congratulations on your marriage.

Marriage is a Holy covenant,
Not a piece of paper handed to you by the state.

Ah, life!

Warm, beautiful commitments,
With God and each other.

Love, love, and faith!

Ooh, never ending!
Courage, endurance, and faith.
Endurance is a new discovery, every day.

Not always happy happy happy.

Where are the lively children?
Let us have 11 children, ha! ha!

Adventure, never ending.

Cry!

Making up is so much fun, like a rough family.

Pledges fly high!

Tears laugh like beautiful children grown.

Faith, forever, not even in death will we part.

I suddenly realized!
I've been standing still
Here for a long time,

I don't know what to do?
I don't know where to go?

I miss you,
I miss you more each day,

Have you thought about me?
It was so long ago
Since I've seen you,

Do you still care for me?

My heart is so heavy now, as heavy as a rain storm,
How can I carry it back to you?

Do you still think of me today?

What should I do?
