Visiting Our Granddaughter In San Diego Poem by NHIEN NGUYEN MD

Visiting Our Granddaughter In San Diego

Rating: 5.0


Many days of waiting were over.
Few thousand miles away, we departed to visit our granddaughter.
Now, Annville faced unusual cold mid-December.
Temperature dropped to twenty two and it snowed last night.
After six hours of two connected flights
Many mountain ridges appeared under fairly clear sky.
From behind a window of flying jet with our watchful eyes
We began seeing southern California with its vast ocean line.
Minutes later, the jet plane landed at San Diego airport on time.
Excitement grew rapidly in our longing hearts
Because, we would arrive at our son's home after a short while.
My son came to pick us up at the airport
Then he took us to a seafood restaurant on Lajolla beach
Which overlooked a deserted beach under sunny warm azure sky.
Gentle blue ocean waves kept breaking at its shore line.
We left the restaurant after more than an hour of good time.
Then we continued traveling on US highway 15.
On the highway, we traveled at a fairly steady speed.
Then after one half hour of traveling
We turned along winding roads of higher hills.
We parked on the hill top where sat my son's beautiful home.
Our granddaughter slept well with her angelic beauty
So, it would be better to let her enjoy her peaceful sleep.
We would play with her when she woke up.

Above is translation poem of the Vietnamese poem of NHIEN NGUYEN MD:

CHÚNG TÔI THĂM CHÁU Ở SAN DIEGO

Bao ngày chờ đợi đã qua
Chúng tôi thăm cháu mấy ngàn dặm xa.
Annville giữa tháng mười hai
Đêm qua trời tuyết, lạnh vừa hăm hai.
Thế rồi sau sáu giờ bay
Núi non trùng điệp dưới mây trải dài.
Từ sau ô kiếng nhìn ra
Nam Cali đó, biển xanh thấy rồi.
Chỉ vài phút nữa mà thôi
Phi trường đáp xuống, San Diego.
Lòng mừng mỗi lúc càng hơn
Chẳng bao lâu nữa chúng tôi tới nhà.
Con tôi đón tận cảng này
Nhưng rồi ăn tiệm ở Lajolla.
Trời xanh, nắng ấm, bãi hoang
Sóng xanh nhè nhẹ miên man vỗ bờ.
Hàn huyên hơn tiếng đồng hồ
Thế rồi trở lại con đường 15
Xe đi vận tốc lăn nhanh
Nửa giờ, đổi hướng leo quanh dốc đồi
Đậu xe, nhà ở ngọn đồi
Cháu tôi nằm ngủ, mặt tươi thiên thần
Thôi thì để cháu ngủ ngoan
Chờ khi cháu thức thay nhau mà bồng.
