“Oriental Birthdays” by Natcha (Will) Kulsetsophon

Natcha (Will) Kulsetsophon

Rising golden smiles

Gold etched dragon tiles 

 

Red silk threaded dress

Red thread crafted light

 

A big round table 

Of familiar faces

 

Foreign greetings,

a blessing:

 

For years that have passed,

“ Zhù nǐ shēngrì kuàilè”

 

For years that will come,

“Zhù nǐ yǒngyuǎn kuàilè”
