It's nice to be home
it's been a long time
since I got to mingle
with my countrymen
in our great country.
I enjoy Korea and it's culture
yet I enjoy mine just as well.

It's nice to be home
I miss it while away
the openness and ease
that the American culture breeds.
Where everything's convenient.
There are some issues that need fixing
but altogether our culture is good.

It's nice to be home
it's been whole year
since I went home last
though I'm not home home
I am home here now,
Enjoying the Hawaiian culture and feel and ease
part of a world that I find comfort in.

*Written on July 28, 2002, Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii.
