Flowers that Flower in My Heart

T.J. Shi

Two good friends,

Stand on my computer desk.

One is spathiphyllum floribundum,

The other one is clivia miniata.

Nick named peace lily and bush lily,

They flower just beside me quietly,

Flower in the soil of my heart,

And in my bitter memory that sometimes is happy.

Right here from 18 October,

They have been my close friends.

My confidante,

And confidant in my spirits.

Every morning when coming into the office,

I will not forget to water them since,

'Cause in my soul,

They are my reflections.

I have already known and still learn to know,

The world, the nature, the science and the society.

Flowers will bloom and fall when they know.

God bless me that I will not let you go.

For the one without any latin basis, it is too hard to remember biological words.

Flowers will bloom and fall when they know, god bless me that I will not let you go.

(彼生物之单词兮，拉丁之遗属。

其亦知其难兮，然焉能难我。

花开花落自有时，祈上苍之吾不予你死。)
