In April 2011，dad was 89 year-old, and we talked about circular poem 迴文 詩 ( hui2 wen2 shi1) one day. I mentioned my artist friend wrote a poem using my 4 children's first names to start each of the sentences. He was very interested and wrote me later a poem using "揚永遠怡“ to start each of the four lines too. Since dad know what my children are doing , so his poem is about each grandchildren and used each first name to start each sentence. The artist, 黃成彬 ，on the other hand was using the first names to describe what I was doing.
