내가아는 아름다운 할머니 JO의 시를 소개합니다. 리듬이 좋고 내용도 좋아서 제가 달라고 했더니
한 뼘 한 뼘 편지로 써서 보내왔습니다.

From Your Grand Mother With Love

To my wonderful grand chidren while go through your teens

Such a tricky time while you swing in_between
     The adult you'll become and the child you have been.

You know me as old, but once I was young
     I remember the struggles, the tears, and the fun.

Your parents have given you strong healthy genes.
     Don't waste their gift on improper things. 

Look in the mirror and accept what you see.
      Be glad you are you! Be the best you can be.

Don't rush the clock, enjoy the age you are.
      Don't blindly explore things you're not ready for. 

It's easy to do nothing just drift and dream
       But goofing off gets you thrown off the team.

Your most precious possession is the power to choose
       The choise is yours, to win or to loose.

Be true to yourself, to your family and friends.
     When you're honest and caring it psys rich dividends.

Treasure your youth, it's not here to stay.
      Study and learn while you grow, work, and play.

And so my dears I want you to konw you are loved 
     and chrished whatever you do, wherever you go/
