In April 2011,dad was 89 year-old, and we talked about circular poem 迴文 ( 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.



揚永遠怡
Foo Hong  2011


名四海慧愛侶    The wise lovers Spread their good names to the four seas
Yángmíng sìhǎi huì ài lǚ

居高庭辯是非     Always stay in the high court to debate for right against evil
Yǒng jū gāo tíng biàn shìfēi

眺朝霞鴛鴦游    Looking at the glorious distant morning cloud, the mandarin ducks go
Yuǎn tiào zhāoxiá yuānyāng yóu      swimming

懷訟訴益萬民     with cheerful heart, she  advocate for the benefit of thousands people
Yí huái sòng su yì wànmín

揚永遠怡
黃成彬
帆破浪稱心事             Spreading the sail, breaking the wave smoothly to my heart’s content
Yángfān pòlàng chèn xīnshì
世壽人志不移             My unremitting desire of healing people will never  change
Yǒngshì shòu rén zhì bù yí
眺青山綠水景             gaze  at the distant green mountain and water  
Yuǎn tiào qīngshān lǜ shuǐjǐng
情悅目樂滋滋             may heart is cheery, with  the pleasing sight
Yí qíng yuèmù lèzīzī
