Letter to My Mother (Letter Poem)

Dear mother:
You used to say
do not forget your homeland.
It is everything to you.
Mother, I will never forget
your voice or what you have said.
I am sharing
my American experience with you
as I am a part of two worlds.

It is tough to face.
I am familiar to the two cultures.
Eastern breath, western air;
eastern feet, western shoes;
eastern soul, western culture;
eastern blood, western water;
eastern motion, western walking;
eastern tune, western song.

Dear mother,
Your voice echoes in my ears.
I will not forget my homeland.
I never forget your voice.
