Love Poem: My Chinese Daughter

My Chinese Daughter

To Hugo Shen Fei
               MY CHINESE DAUGHTER


                       There is no face
            Reflection of a thousand years
                That can take her place
           A face that cried a thousand tears
                      There is no heart
               Reflection of the West Lake dew
                      That can so impart
                   Devotion rediscovered
                             and 
                Replenished each day anew
