【A Little Sailboat】

                   
                      By Tian Yu Zhi

From the north, comes the naughty wind 

One moment, sends me to cloud high,

Next second, pours over my head

Buckets of cold rain

So I dock the boat, not going anywhere ——

There is always a sunny tomorrow, and 

Ample time, to feel the strong, warm blow,

Pushing me from behind 

As the tempest howling at the sea,

I hide my head in the tender arms of 

A calm bay, like a snuggling little dachshund,

Sleep tight, dream sweet dreams
