Dai spoke love of his country
In spite of the corruption that
Is shaping his prospects.
He shares the popular Confucius values.
His loyalty is to Vietnam, family, and self.
He believes looking east is best.
It is there that the sun and your life will
rise.
Dai is about patience.
He knows both the history that despises America,
And the one that accepts America's contribution,
However belated and modest.
Dai leads us visitors with concern and charm.
His father was a victim of the wars;
Dai was raised in a country seeking peace.
The people believe Ho Chi Minh was near perfect,
Dai knows the country is Buddhist, and Ho was
not perfect.
Small boned, looking every bit a fast thinker,
He will get very high grades from our group.
Anticipating most of our questions and concerns.
Dai will probably lead tours for another 40
years.
The man maintains a love for his work,
And modest material goals.
His humor is self-deprecating,
And I hold he is sincere.
