Haiku for a Lifelong Friend

幼なじみに捧げる俳句  

たえちゃんと
歩いて走った
青い春


たえちゃんと出会い、たえちゃんと育った日本での時間。
無邪気に手をつなぎ、腕を組んでよく歩いた一番街。
今も変わらぬあの懐かしい道のような二人の友情に、感謝の思いを込めて書きました。

The blue spring (=the youthful time)
That I walked and ran together
With Tae-chan

The time in Japan in which I met and grew up with Tae-chan.
"Ichiban Gai" where we often walked as children holding hands or arm in arm.
The haiku was written with my appreciation for the friendship that remains as unchaged as that familiar street.


A picture from the summer 2002 trip to Japan.
