Visiting My Vegetable Garden This Morning Poem by NHIEN NGUYEN MD

This morning I return to visit my vegetable garden.
My vegetables are lush green, with bolting yellow mustard flowers
Slowly, I walk around and watch my garden several times.
As I watch these flowers and leaves, my heart is filled with joy.
Nearby, vast cornfields are flowering
Several birds glide their spread wings in the air, scouting for preys
Many white butterflies gather here.
By opening and folding their soft wings
These butterflies caress morning rays with their flapping wings.
Many bees also bring their friends here to enjoy their feast:
Green vegetables, white butterflies, yellow flowers and the new dawn.

Translation of the Vietnamese poem of NHIEN NGUYEN MD

SÁNG NAY TRỞ LẠI THĂM VƯỜN

Sáng nay trở lại thăm vườn,
Vườn rau xanh tốt, cải ngồng lên bông.
Tôi đi thong thả vài vòng
Nhìn hoa, nhìn lá, thấy lòng vui hơn.
Gần bên, rừng bắp trổ bông
Trên cao, chim lớn lượn vòng kiếm ăn.
Rất nhiều bướm trắng về đây
Cánh non khép mở, nắng vàng vờn theo.
Ong vui, rủ bạn về thăm:
Cải xanh, bướm trắng, bông vàng, nắng mai.
