Thơ: What I like about.. (Helen QTN)

What I like about
Quang Duc Homepage?

I like each evening when people are calm in sleep
I quietly get online to Quangduc.com
Click on the pictures, well…. it’s curious
Oh! These are new pages have just been linked
I like each weekend, rain or shine, cold or hot
I early get online to Quangduc.com
Click on articles, Suttras, Dharma talks
For intense desire, I read and listen
I like the emails circulated to members, I’m one of
The world news, the topics, I don’t want to miss
Have opened my thoughts, it’s a great gift.
To improve life, for less time spent on it
I like most of weekday, after work
Concentrating on scripts for translations
Gradually have learned a bit that I didn’t count on
Used to I say “just do, anyway; it wouldn’t hurt!”

For three years, just three years, it’s short
Today, I happen to look back
What I didn’t count, now have accumulated
What “wouldn’t hurt”, now they’re good.
Guess you want to know about my harvest:
I’ve reduced habits of being selfish
Earned habits of sharing not to grab,
Habits of being patient and relaxed,
Habits of seeing right and controlling talks
Just only little things have guarded me from heartache!
It’s amazing, just three years of practice!
Those, I never count in the past!

Words are not enough to tell about how I appreciate
None of things could exchange property of mind, I’ve got.
I see my way on, for Buddha Hood, I’m happy with
I don’t want to write details as it couldn’t express

Congratulations! To whom with twenty years with Quang Duc
Bet, you must have ton of merit!
Bet, you are earnest.
Bet, you are approaching Home, straight ahead.

I like to continue when I have a chance to work
For you, for me, for all, toward the Buddha Hood
I don’t mind if it’s far or short
Because I’ve noticed the happiness within since practice
Here you go,
As you ever asked me about what I like.
