-To dedicate Late Charlie and Olwyn Green
He graduated from the high school and enlisted the Army,
And was a youngest battalion commander in Australia.
The Youn-Chon, Park-Chon, Jeong-ju, consistently
His name of triumph, but fallen like a Dahlia
In late fall, sadly. And Olwyn received
A notice, but then, too harsh to have believed.
With her baby, a war-widower had lived
The long years with the beautiful memory of her honey.
But, not static but actively she'd been lived
Her life. Not always, her days are sunny.
She had tried to study Korea for long time,
And she tried to make the bridge for her time.
The couple were born in Australia and now
They've rested and will have rested Korea.
When he passed to the long way, she didn't say, 'ciao',
But her one hundred birthday, she visited Korea.
For a long time, she'd loved Korea and environments.
Koreans will love them forever for commitments.
The old days she wore a wedding veil
But now in the white urn instead of carriage,
At last, it ended her poignant tale.
In sunny place in Busan, their marriage
Life has continued again, and would forever.
And also the friendship of the left will forever.
