My Global Friends: Here is a poem written by one of my Korean students--Juby~~aka bon Juby. It is a lovely expression of his feelings and thoughts about the English word now...

At This Moment...

If I can look at the stars at this moment,
How wonderful that is!

Even though my ears will become some
soil before long, and if I can listen to The
9th Symphony at this moment, how
brilliant that is!

Even though my friends will be erased
from my memory, and if I can smile and
talk with them at this moment, how joyful
that is !

Even though my brain stops, and even
though the moment when my hands decay
comes, it is true that I am writing my
poem at this moment and about whatever I want.

It is really true that nobody can ban this moment ....NOW.

By Bon Juby

Here is Agaise's comment--with a little help from his friend...hehehe

Well I know that writing is not easy and creating a poem—well, I don’t want to even imagine that.
Bon Juby has impressed me. I don’t like poems but this one is really deep and with a lot of truth.
