Passion for Life

Passion for Life

 --after Wang Guozhen

I care not if my destination is reached 

since I have courage to walk ahead 

regardless of  the winds and rains.

I care not if my love is reaped. 

Since a rose is my one passion 

my address is brave and sincere.

I care not if hostile winds and rains freeze me 

since my horizontal goal is set. 

The world’s shadow is behind me.

I  care not if the road’s flat or straight. 

Since I possess a passion for life 

I can never be caught offguard.

--Duane Vorhees
