Understanding

Speeches all in Chinese

Only mine needs Jenny to translate

Tucked behind the flowers

She repeats so beautifully what I say

I can't see the faces of the people

As camera lights block my view

As my heart fills with emotions

Vibrating in this room

It doesn't matter if we speak a different language

Joy Peace and HOPE

Words we all understand

As they come not from our voices

Just deep from within our souls
