Bethlehem, I just arrived at this town.
With its name in big letters, a hotel is waiting for me.
This is the first time I come here.
Now it's mid-Autumn, trees wear their green and yellow colors.
More people converge here on weekend.
Many cars are already in parking lots.
This hotel is Sands Casino and Resort
Which joins Casino with Bethlehem Outlets.
I rent a room on uppermost floor
From there I watch Lehigh river's gentle flow.
From both banks, Lehigh valley gracefully spreads.
Big and small buildings emerge out of green and yellow trees.
Western sun reflects on rooftops.
Golden waves glitter on flowing river.

English translation of a Vietnamese Poem Of NHIEN NGUYEN MD
SANDS BETHLEHEM
Bethlehem, tôi tới đây rồi.
Bảng cao, khách sạn đang chờ tôi đây.
Nơi đây, tôi tới lần đầu.
Giữa thu, mầu lá chỗ vàng chỗ xanh.
Cuối tuần, người đổ về đây
Bãi xe khách sạn rất là nhiều xe.
Nơi đây, khách sạn tên Sands
Sòng bạc, Outlets Bethlehem nối liền.
Thuê phòng tôi ở lầu trên
Từ đây tôi ngắm Lehigh trôi dài.
Hai bờ, thung lũng thênh thang
Nhà to, nhà nhỏ, cây xanh chen vàng.
Nắng tây phản chiếu nóc nhà
Dòng sông nước chảy, sóng vàng lăn tăn.
