Visiting The White House With Grand Children Poem by NHIEN NGUYEN MD

The moon shone beautifully under clear sky
Because it was almost a full moon night
We traveled to visit our grandchildren
Who lived in a far away state.

Each year, they grew taller and wiser:
Three older girls and their youngest brother
They looked beautiful and adorable
Their frequent smiles shone on their happy faces.

In addition to visiting our grandchildren
And to celebrate Evelyn's birthday
We visited the White House together
Under winter morning drizzling rain.

In the evening, we enjoyed hot "Phở" at their home
With medium and well cooked sliced beef and fresh vegetables.
Their maternal grandmother and their two aunts also came
They brought more joy to grandchildren's hearts.

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


VIẾNG THĂM TÒA BẠCH ỐC VỚI CÁC CHÁU


Trời trong, trăng đẹp lắm
Đêm nay sắp đêm rằm
Chúng tôi đi thăm cháu
Nhà ở tận bang xa.

Mỗi năm, cháu khôn lớn
Ba chị gái, em trai
Cháu tôi xinh xinh lắm
Mặt sáng, miệng cười hoài.

Nhân dịp thăm bốn cháu
Mừng sinh nhật Ev'lyn
Chúng tôi thăm Bạch Ốc
Trời đông lạnh, mưa phùn.

Tối về ăn phở nóng
Bò tái chín, rau ngon
Bà ngoại, hai dì tới
Các cháu càng vui hơn.
