The Flowers Never Die
Josh Junyi Guo
I'm a flower, refused to fade away,
Windy, rainy, snowy or poor-territory ,
Nobody appreciate, I will bloom[1] today.
I'm a veteran[2], who refused to leave the battlefields[3],
Pike broken, armor dilapidated, lame horse,
I will insist on sticking out[4] my chest.
Spring asked me:
Why not fall down in the gorgeous autumn?
Honor asked me:
Why not leave with medal?
Companion asked me:
Why not sleep together under Bone Hill[5]?
War asked me:
Why not willing to lower your prideful head?
I'm a flower, who refused to fade away,
Because I am waiting for spring.
Winter is coming,
Can spring be far behind?
I'm a veteran, refused to leave the battlefields,
I will enjoy the scenery for partners.
Because my wife is behind,
And my child，with my land.
Flowers would never fade away,
Until the veteran’s death could be seen.
