Instilling belief in the necessity to strive,

Poetry: Nga Le

I come to the Sen village one afternoon,
Rows of Buddhist pagodas cast a gentle shadow.
The green of the eggplant garden reflects in the leaves,
The pomelo tree wafts its fragrance in the evening sun.

I step into the old thatched house,
Simple and humble, the family altar stands.
The old bamboo bed, how I miss it so,
My tears blur memories of the past.

The hammock where Mother used to sing lullabies,
Her soothing voice echoing through.
Surely Uncle Ho lies here, listening to Mother's tales,
Tales of the past, tales of bygone days?

The Coc well at the head of the village, its water clear,
The lotus pond fragrant with a gentle breeze.
Did Uncle Ho often come here to fetch water,
As if preparing to carry mountains and rivers in the future?

The old loom of Bà Loan,
Weaving cloth to support her husband and children.
The sound of the shuttle, as if
Bà still sits here, her shadow yet to fade?

I stand quietly, tears falling,
How my heart aches, Uncle!
A life of dedication, nurturing great ideals,
Amidst the vast sky, the moon shines bright.

Uncle, you departed to save the homeland,
Shining with the truth of Marx and Lenin,
Your revolutionary path lighting the way,
Liberating our people from chains.

Soon it will be Father's birthday,
Kim Lien - Hoang Tru etched in memory.
I want to return to that place every year,
So Father's silhouette never fades.

Poetry: Dương Khắc Giao

Remember how: “One morning in May”,
Fifty kids enter the mausoleum to pay respects.

Still, it feels like seeing Bac smiling,
His humane beard for a life of FREEDOM.

His eyes sparkle with poetic soul,
Words of iron and steel still resolute.

Which rice grinds the pure moonlight,
Needing mother's feet, white and soft?

The verses on the mountain under the hut,
“Fresh tea, corn and rice” once succeeded.

From the workshop to the fields,
A song of TOTAL VICTORY inspires mountains and rivers.

Fifty years
Engraved in bronze,
That testament
Is the people's heart.

The Party's boat still sings on the full moon,
A thousand years, Vietnam's land warms poetic spring.

Poetry: Nguyễn Thị Hồng Hạnh

Bac crosses four seas and five continents,
Seeking ways to save the nation, to ensure warmth and plenty.
The aspiration for independence and freedom,
A single party devoted to its people.

The aspiration for a peaceful country,
Where people live in solidarity and share love.
The aspiration for a peaceful land,
Children attend school diligently and learn.

The aspiration for people to live in peace,
To have food, warmth, and no more war.
The aspiration for generations to come,
To unite and build the country, the land of dragons and fairies.

A lifetime Bac only desires,
A Vietnam of independence with a bright red flag.
A Vietnam enduring for generations,
Matching the world, Bac's heart always yearns.

May 13, 2020

Poetry: Trần Lộc

I return to Lotus Village amidst May
Blending into the stream of people returning to Bac's homeland
The sun shines brightly, suddenly the song becomes gentle
The folk melody lulls Bac's newborn welcoming

In May, I miss you so much, oh Bac
The country, day by day, follows your instructions
Independence, freedom, full bellies, warm clothes
The path is beautiful, righteous, green, and clear

I believe, You will fulfill the aspirations
For the nation always unites with one heart
More friends, less enemies, sincere affection
All continents embrace us... admiringly

This May, You have gone far away
I thought it was just yesterday You were still instructing
'The benefit of a hundred years lies in educating people'..echoing forever
Vietnamese intellect rises, singing the hymn of triumph

May returns, countless longing for Bac
For the people, for the country, disregarding oneself
A great soul, pure and transcendent
A boundless compassion like a deity of salvation

On May 19, watching the crowd gather
Walking under the scorching summer sun in the central region
Our hearts deeply love Bac
Forever holding onto unwavering faith

Hai Loc. May 11, 2020

Poetry: Lan Vuong

Love the people, cherish the country all our lives
Humanitarianism flows from the heart of talent
More radiant than ten thousand morning stars
Uplifting Vietnam to glorious heights

Ba Dinh echoes across the mountains and rivers
His words warmly unite the strength of the people
'Dear compatriots, hear clearly'
Thousands stand as one, resolute and steadfast

No challenge can deter his will
Belief in victory, gratitude to the venerable Father
He shines like a magnificent ode
A heart illuminating the vast sea and sky

The sun's rays shine everywhere
Vietnam forever grateful to Uncle Ho.

Poetry: Nguyễn Đình Hưng

A pair of rubber sandals must have straps
Uncle Ho still wears them as he goes
Climbing mountains, crossing streams persistently
Welcoming guests, enjoying without any less grandeur

Some say: because of poverty, one struggles
Others believe: being frugal has become a habit
Simple and humble, honoring morality
Why bother with superficial appearances.

Hanoi, May 13, 2020

Poetry: Nguyễn Cao Cầm

Celebrating the birthday of the great Uncle Ho
An eminent figure shining through time
Vietnam, with its seas of silver and lands of gold
Today, appears more beautiful and dignified than ever

Our homeland is now rich
Thanks to the past merits of Uncle Ho
Single-handedly building the foundation
The glorious fame of Uncle Ho Chi Minh

In the early years, when Uncle was born and the country lost
The scene was filled with misery and hardship
Bearing hardships, enduring the life of horses and buffaloes
Hunger, torn clothes, harboring deep-seated resentment

Uncle crossed over clouds and seas
Enduring hardships, dedicating himself completely
Countless sufferings and sacrifices
Seeking the path to the future glory of saving the country

Upon returning to the country, Uncle built his career
Building the country, rivers, and mountains
Leading the entire Party and people
Driving out the imperialists, opening a golden history

The glorious and radiant Vietnam
Resonates across the five continents thanks to Uncle Ho
Building the pillar of independence and freedom
Eradicating poverty, overcoming hardships, ensuring peace and tranquility

Remembering the beautiful day of Uncle's birth
Burning with heartfelt and everlasting emotion
His illustrious name shining brightly
Love for the people and the nation, eternal glory

For the greatness of Ho Chi Minh
A shining example for the entire people
He is the Father - Uncle, caring and compassionate
His talent shines, revered by the people

Hanoi: May 16, 2019

Poetry: Nguyễn Ruyến

The first President of our Country
Gathering the souls of rivers and mountains, forging noble spirits
Exceptional talent, gentle and kind-hearted
Unparalleled integrity and righteous love
Establishing the foundation for independence, honoring the heritage
Building a society that values the people's well-being
Departing, leaving behind the Testament
The great name of Ho Chi Minh

Ninh Binh, 05.2020

Poetry: Nghi Lâm

I visited Uncle Ho's mausoleum from Saigon
Saw Him peacefully resting in the glass case
Looking back over the years in all three regions
Development has been solid as desired. ...

He departed on a late autumn day
Seven-nine springs devoted to the motherland
Suffering for the country until exhaustion
Hoping to see the mountains and rivers connected!

The image of Uncle Ho lives on for generations
Each generation of descendants follows His teachings
Ending poverty and hunger for the entire nation
Ensuring strong defense, safeguarding the homeland's borders,

Celebrating Uncle Ho's birthday, expressing heartfelt words
My innermost thoughts are dedicated to Him
A bouquet of fresh pink lotus flowers
Sent to the eternal abode, may He accept!

And then, passing on to future generations
Building our nation forever prosperous and beautiful
Protecting Vietnam from the threat of war
INTERNATIONAL INTEGRATION .. SHARING PEACE TOGETHER!

(Saigon, afternoon of May 12, 2020) N.L

Poetry: Sơn Nữ

In the middle of May, I return to visit Uncle Ho
My heart is heavy as if Uncle is still here
His shadow casts coolness under the trees
The mango orchard ripe, coconut trees laden with fruit

The sun still glistens gold on the leaves' canopy
The lake's water dances with lively fish
The leaning coconut trees embrace the gentle sunlight
A thousand flowers bloom, arms outstretched to welcome guests

A simple wooden table where He sat reading
The bamboo chair worn with years of use
A wooden cupboard, a pair of worn-out sandals
The khaki suit still bears creases

There He lies... amidst the silent crowd
My heart holds back the tears, ready to flow
Gently, let Him rest peacefully
That moment etched deep in memory!

This month, I return to visit Uncle Ho
A lifetime of love and remembrance for you, Uncle!

SƠN NỮ 12/5/2020

Poetry: Nguyễn Trường

Uncle Ho lives forever in me
In the heart of the nation, the country shines
Uncle is a genius leader
Of the people, of the Party. Sacrificing his whole life!

For Independence, Freedom, and Peace
Steering the boat steadily across the river
Vietnam shares one red flag
Two regions, North and South, united in one house.

The world praises our country
Honoring the beloved Father of our culture
National liberation paves the way
For all humanity to walk together.

In collective happiness and joy
In April of that year, Uncle marched with the army
Rapidly liberating Saigon
A birthday gift from the children to Him.

Far away, Uncle still smiles
Waving goodbye to those in pain
Reminding us: unity, before and after
Strive, love the country, together build life

Noble, beautiful, radiant
A prosperous Vietnam is Uncle's wish
The entire nation, united in heart
Is the happiness engraved in our hearts.

Hanoi, May 8, 2020

Poetry: Đinh Thị Hiển

That month, that day, so beautiful...
A bright star... high above the mundane
Carrying warm sunlight, spreading
Dispelling coldness, human suffering

A bright star across the land and sky
Erasing the life of slavery, establishing freedom
Thanking the heavens and Buddha for
Uncle Ho, the guiding star, caring for the people

A lifetime of pure nobility
Guiding the people to chase away invaders, to secure freedom
Building a state where the people come first
Democratic freedom, freedom of education

Freedom to develop civilization
Developing physical and mental well-being
Our people are very proud
Material life improves every day

The people are excited, enthusiastic
Day by day, they strive to build the country

Today, Uncle has gone far
We remember him as a close relative

Uncle's immense contribution
We forever, infinitely remember and love
Uncle is the sun in the sky
Caring for the Vietnamese people, illuminating human life

The World honors Uncle as a great man
The world's star... deeply beloved
We love Uncle very much
On Uncle's birthday, countless fond memories

Wishing Uncle happiness in paradise

TEN virtues gleaming brightly along the way
BEAUTIFUL hearts and all our people

Poetry: Phạm Thị Hồng Thu

I return to Phan Thiet this afternoon,
Thinking deeply about Uncle at Dục Thanh School.
A time when the nation lamented,
He nurtured great aspirations to overcome vast challenges.

In just a few years of teaching,
The teacher's heart shines brightly for the future.
Time cannot fade it,
His spirit intertwined with the length and breadth of the country.

Dục Thanh forever holds the color of glory...

Poetry: Nguyễn Cường

We come to visit Dục Thanh prestigious school,
Where once Teacher Nguyễn Tất Thành imparted knowledge,
Teaching his students literacy and love for the nation,
Nurturing a spirit of determination to swiftly drive away invaders.

Independence and peace for the Motherland,
Plentiful food and warm clothing for the people,
Traversing the four seas in search of truth,
Reaching all five continents to make it a reality.

Poetry: Nguyễn Đình Hưng

The sky's tower truly destined,
Ten directions gather, seated amidst lotus flowers.
Beautiful from fragrance, color to name,
Foremost in Đồng Tháp, the lotus shines brightly.

Flowers for flourishing lives,
Lotus becomes the national flower's symbol.
Vietnam, not only beautiful with flowers,
North and South united, abundant in great talents.

Beautiful in the minds of all,
Foremost in talent and morality, perfect in every aspect.
With shining luminaries abound,
The name 'Beloved Country' echoes through generations.

For the nation, forgetting oneself,
Ho Chi Minh - the saintly embodiment of the name.
Tenfold beautiful tower, the lotus flower,
Vietnam's most beautiful, named after Uncle Ho.
