never to return...
i was watching a pbs program about the chinese immigration to hawaii and was reminded of my grandparent's cemetary.
although a lot of the original contract laborers dreamed of returning to their home towns, most never made it back. impovershed, many were buried by family or friends with only a rock to mark their graves.
everytime i visit my grandparents grave, i find myself wondering over to the corner of the cemetary that holds the graves from the very early 1900's...to say a prayer of gratitude for all of their sacrifices...

the days of my youth...
used to fly like the birds on the wings of the wind,
i have played in the sun with a joy deep within,
i had laughter as a toy and a sweet for my tooth
in the beautiful days of my youth.
ev'ry one that I met was a friend, not a foe,
the fears I have learned way back then I didn't know.
not one deed meant unkind, not one thought uncouth,
in the beautiful days of my youth.
the time quickly passed, the years traveled on;
the hopes and the dreams have diminished and gone,
now the child that I face, how familiar he seems,
he's wearing my eyes and living my dreams,
ah, my innocent child,
i'll spare the untruths
of the magical days, the bright shining days,
the beautiful days of your youth.
