The Place Where I was Born

Oh, my birth place
Don't you see the joy on my face ?
Don't you find the change in my flesh ?
But you are still there-
watching my deeds from the dome
waiting my returns to the home.
This is the place
from where my long journey has begun
many years ago
perhaps,
my foot prints might become fossils
my childhood playground might become arena
But I am the same one
who was in the very beginning
and I am the same one
who will remain the same
in the very last moment.
