Facing the Sea With Spring Blossoms

Author: Haizi

Original text:

From tomorrow on, be a happy person.

Feed horses, chop wood and travel around the world.

Starting tomorrow, care about food and vegetables,

I have a house facing the sea and full of spring flowers.

Starting from tomorrow, write to every relative.

Tell them my happiness.

Happy lightning told me,

I'll tell everyone.

Give every river and mountain a warm name,

Stranger, I wish you the same,

I wish you a bright future

May you have a lover and everything will be fine.

May you be happy on earth.

I just want to face the sea and spring blossoms.
