Fly Me to Vietnam Please fly me to Vietnam On a gentle dragon Of smooth, blue-green scales Right next to a woodsy place Where slaves run free And the dove's soft chortles sound like music. I'll feel calm If I fly to that fantasy. With world peace surrounding me.
Lily Barton wrote this sweet poem when she was ten years old. She wrote it prior to a homeland trip to Vietnam, the land of her birth. Lily's mother describes her as "a continual inspiration to her family." Her poem was first published in the Chao Ban Vietnam Adoption Newsletter. |
