The Cold has Come

the weather was fine yesterday. n it was fine too this morning when i got up n went to my first class at about 10. actually it was not just fine, but it was the weather i usually like. i said to myself it would be great if the weather remained like that. however 90 minutes later, after i finished my class, it'd changed dramatically to very cold. the sky was dark as if it was nearly night. i could hardly stand the coldness so i rushed to the dorm to warm myself up, since i was wearing only a T-shirt and a thin sweater. it was too cold to adapt at once, yet some of my friends said it would be much colder later in the year n the start of next year. though i'm not really fond of the coldness, i'm looking forward to my first winter experience here. n i do wish that snow falls in Tokyo for just a short time.

some trees remain green even in this season.

Autumn has come.

autumn has come. some trees remain green while the others turn into red or yellow or brown. it's really amazing to see the nature changes with its own unique beauty. no matter when it is, it's always enjoyable to see the surrounding nature.

Oklahoma



Suitcase packed with all his things
Car pulls up, the doorbell rings
He don't wanna go
He thought he'd found his home
But with circumstances he can't change
Waves goodbye as they pull away
From the life he's known
For the last 7 months or so

She said "we've found a man who looks like you
Who cried and said he never knew
About the boy in pictures that we showed him
A rambler in his younger days
He knew he'd made a few mistakes
But he swore he would have been there
Had he known it
Son we think we found your dad in Oklahoma

A million thoughts raced through his mind
What's his name, what's he like
And will he be
Anything like the man in his dreams
She could see the questions in his eyes
Whispered "don't be scared my child"
I will let you know
What we know

About the man we found
He looks like you
Who cried and said he never knew
About the boy in pictures that we showed him
A rambler in his younger days
He knew he'd made a few mistakes
But he swore he would have been there
Had he known it
You always said that this was something that you wanted
Son it's time to meet your dad in Oklahoma

One last turn he held his breath
Till they reached the fifth house on the left
And all at once the tears came rollin in
And as they pulled into the drive
The man was waiting there outside
He wiped the worry from his eyes
Smiled and took his hand
And he said

I'm the man who looks like you
Who cried because I never knew
About the boy in pictures that they showed me
Oh a rambler in my younger days
I knew I'd made a few mistakes
But I swear I would have been there
Had I known it
Never again will you ever be alone
Son welcome to your home in Oklahoma
