From sky Diving

If jumping from thirteen thousand feet brings a little contribution

I will do this with no hesitation ,

let it be my simple dedication

For those brave

that will be just a trivial thing

Especially and strongly

I agree when you compare me to my new generations

Oh! motherland

I really wish you free , singing a lively song at the independent grand stand

Now my heart was broken

when I saw you suffocating and suffering in those stupid hands

I really wanted to disperse those evils with my bare hand

But I was not strong enough

sadly just old and ordinary man

Will you forgive me

when I become supportive to your sacrificing daughters and sons

Young and lovely ones?

Though I was far and apart

Believe me always I am your reserve

You are my nearest and dearest love

When the time comes I must depart

But my love will never fall apart

You will always be in my heart.

~~~ Poem by U Khun Saing ~~~
