Winds of time
Her blossom flew to the mountains
In a land that celebrates the maple
From the rising sun
To the coldness of another land
She became the sunrise
And the sunshine
With her smile, she can melt the ice

Round the clock
And through the seasons
She experienced it
With limitation of moments
Yet, she kept smiling in distant land
Met many friends
As admired by her heart and beauty

Lo...
One day, she has to return
Where sun shines to the world
Photographic the distant land
Capturing everlasting moments
Now, to await...
Another Sakura to blossom back
From Nihon to Canada again
Will be waiting....

To my dear friend, Kaede-san
