[congratulations to my big sister’s 25th wedding anniversary]

If life is black and white,
The day blue skies and starry is night

Under the sheets in heated passion
Beneath the surface buried burden

We ride the waves that is called life
Shades of just not black nor white

We made it this far
Forget not whom nor where we are

Mark a quarter century true
Achieved more than most knew…

Nguyễn Thị Phương Trâm, the blogger, poet, and translator, was born in 1971 in Phu Nhuan, Saigon, Vietnam. The pharmacist currently lives and works in Western Sydney, Australia.
