Jesus,
Da Nang should be the casuarina city.
You know,
14 years ago,
casuarina forests surrounded our coast.
Thick forests.
Not only a row of trees as you see today.
To us Da Nang people,
these casuarina forests are the thing we have.
Forests protect us from storms.
Forests save us from hot summers.
Forests make us merry.
Forests teach us love.
Love with friends, family and lover.
Love with the sea.
Our sea.
Forests feed us love.
Forests give us dreams.
Hopeful and peaceful dreams.
We want the casuarina forests to come back to us.
Jesus, please.
You said,
“What is impossible with man is possible with God.”*
This thing is also possible with you, right?
We are still in you.
Amen.
PTH
