“Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.” I once had a dream Cherry blossoms would be seen So, in springtime I flew away To finally chase this unique display I began my journey in Korea With a very simple idea Walk around as much as possible And look out for something phenomenal After Korea, I went on to Japan With a very similar plan Sakura still on my mind More I was determined to find There were never any guarantees That I’d get to see these beautiful trees A bit of luck was on my side Nature seemed to have complied Of course, Hanami isn’t all that I appreciated On route, I was often deviated Some main attractions also needed to be viewed And certain food stops, I just had to include Like any trip, this one had its highs and lows That’s all quite normal I suppose No regrets whatsoever I now have memories to last forever
