Whenever I am weak
I was probably about six years old
I almost died of tuberculosis
With the care of a nurse who is not the nurse
Came back to life
body is weak and mind is also
A year later, I was able to skip school, but
confidence fell as it fell
family took care of me even more
Anxiety has always been in my heart
Father went to teach four kilometers
away from home
He used to take me to the elementary school
where he worked
It is the largest school in the area
seeing healthy children
looking at the new phone without number plate
for me to see
to have the power to challenge the new world
that day,
father put me on the back of bicycle
and headed to school
passing through the winding rice fields
running a new road
passing through a slightly larger town with a mill
we went uphill for a long time
we met the downhill road again
but the brakes didn't work properly
Stopped but
pebble singing
we couldn't cross a small stream
we fell into the water together
because of me
The biggest and strongest father in town
The smallest and weakest me
woke up and held hands
a nearby acquaintance's house
to dry clothes
When the clothes were dry, father put me on the back again
he started pedaling toward school
Before long,
the fearsome special forces soldiers
walking in the morning with one powerful voice
passed by the ranks
faces of the soldiers are still not forgotten
how much fear, tension, sweat and drenched
The expression that sang the military song
Daddy and I finally arrived at school
In the dorm room, I started my day
From the moment
I left home,
I laid my cheek against my father's back
I was holding father's waist with both hands
patiently
I couldn't look ahead,
I couldn't look left and right,
I only saw the ground and
I had no anxiety or fear
I didn't ask when he was alive, but...
that experience has passed nearly 60 years
I drove by there a few years ago
In my ears, the sound of a bicycle
ting-a-ling-a-ling
Father,
I can remember feeling of the wide and warmth of
your back
until now and in the future.
