Amazing Grace

In memory of Grace Chen - When a touch of your smile rises 
Professor Phil Hsieh
 When a touch of your smile rises
Among the “blue sky and white clouds”
It blossoms into dimples
Taking the pose
Of sublime lotuses.
Your life’s energies diffuse
Like the fragrance of a flower.
 Always cheerful
With an enormous heart,
You talked and sang
To spread the seeds of
Love at every
Corner of the world,
Bright and dark alike.
 Your thirty-six
Years of shortened
But brilliant life
Turned into touching
Memories in our minds,
Episode after episode
And time after time.
 The impermanence of sufferings
Made marks on your body
And yet you still
Faced it with smiles.
O you the flying Apsara
Please, as you wished, come back soon,
While humming the tunes of Love.
