Molly Kim - Frozen!

Frozen!

Molly Kim

Ding-Dong
Frozen!Frozen! It’s frozen!
Come out! Come out! Get your skates out!

In our little town, when the sun is setting,
The delicious dinner-time scents floats toward the pond:
American, Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Vietnamese
All combining together making a unique fragrance.

Holding our maple spirits together
Passing a puck to each other
Black, white, yellow no matter what
We become one on the frozen pond.
Cheering for our team, we become stronger and stronger
Full of smiling faces, that’s what we see.

So absorbed in our game
The time passed without warning
Although that night we went back to our own houses,
Eating different foods from one another, speaking different languages
That night on the frozen pond, we were one,
