Today is Children’s Day
my Dad’s birthday.
I always remember
today with nostalgia.

My Dad
who loved music so much
and was delighted with
my occasional offer to a concert.

My Dad
who cared so much
for my health condition
even in the concert hall.

My Dad
who asked often
if it was OK
for him to be there.

My Dad
who said often
“Universe, that is, vibration.”

Oh, how I loved
my Dad with
such sensitivity!
