I am a tree.
A green tree.
When fall comes,
a colorful tree.

When winter comes,
there are no leaves.

When spring comes, pink, pink!
Pink like spring, pinky-pink.

Original in Korean

나는 나무
초록나무가
가을이 되면
알록달록

나무
겨울이 되면
나뭇잎이 없다

봄이 오면 핑크핑크!
봄처럼 분홍분홍

When we turn a year older
we expect to feel more mature
or grown up

but
growing up is more of a journey
than a sudden change

growing up is like climbing a giant mountain
even though you have a long way up,

you are still 11 points higher
Each point is you getting a little older each year
And all the hills in between the points
are the months and the weeks and the days
that are passing by

Standing at a new peak
means that you conquered hills of the year,

each day each week
each bad side, each happy side in year
All that memory from the past few years
while you were growing up, makes you, you.

A mountain reminds me or stuff reminds me that
each layer or hill or anything is just me
and what makes me in a journey of mine

Inspired by the story Eleven by Sandra Cisneros And the quote “ but they don’t understand about birthdays and what they don’t tell you is When you’re 11 you’re also 10 and nine and eight and seven and six and five and four and three and two and one. And when you wake up on your 11th birthday, you expect to feel 11 but you don’t.”

in Korean

한 살 더 나이를 먹으면
더 성숙해지고
어른스러워질 거라 기대하지만

자란다는 건 갑작스러운 변화라기보단
하나의 여정에 더 가까워요

자란다는 건 거대한 산을 오르는 것과 같아요
올라갈 길이 아직 멀더라도

이미 11개의 지점만큼 높이 올라와 있어요
각 지점은 해마다 조금씩 더 나이 든 당신이에요
그리고 지점과 지점 사이의 모든 언덕은
지나가는 달과 주, 그리고 날들이에요

새로운 정상에 서 있다는 건
그 해의 언덕들을 정복했다는 뜻이에요

매일, 매주
한 해의 힘들었던 면도, 행복했던 면도
자라는 동안 지난 몇 해의 그 모든 기억들이
오늘의 당신이어요

산은, 아니 여러 가지가 나에게 일깨워줘요
모든 층과 언덕들, 그 무엇이든 그것들이 바로 나 자신이어요
나의 여정 속에서 나를 만들어 가요.

A Letter to Give to Mom

August 31, 2026August 31, 2026 by Eunsol Song

by Eunsol Song
ES (K to 3), Korea

Mom, you say all I can do is play games, right?
Why do you get angry over just that?
Don’t you know my IQ is 100?

Now, I’m going to hate you, Mom.

Since you said your stomach hurts,
I bring you warm water and kimbap.
so why don’t you smile?

Now you are so annoying. I hate you,
You’re so mean, I can’t stand you.

Original in Korean

엄마, 게임만 할 수 있지
왜 그런다고 왜 화를 내?
난 아이큐가 100인지 몰라?
난 이제 엄마를 싫어할 거예요.

엄마가 배가 아프다고 해서
따뜻한 물이랑
김밥을 갖다 주는데
왜 엄마는 웃지 않냐고

이제 엄마가
짜증나고 싫고
나빠 죽겠어 !

Rainbow

Rainbow, rainbow,
a rainbow with clouds,
such a pretty rainbow!

Butterflies flutter, flutter,
happy and glad.

Let’s look at the sky
and feel beautiful.

Even when we’re bored,
let’s cheer up and cheer each other on!

Original in Korean

무지개, 무지개
구름이 있는 무지개,
너무 예쁜 무지개!

나비들이 팔랑팔랑
기쁨이 좋다.

하늘 보면서
아름답게 우린.

심심해도
힘내서 응원하자!
