My name is akin to a yellow sun clear skies and gaa chíng-- bright weather
I was born Cantonese born to wake up under yellow bed sheets of yellow stars of yellow angels with my mom by my side
My mom now sleeps alone busily working papers under a steady chartreuse desk light
My dad loves yellow I'm his favorite color his name is of the sun he loved sharing the small amber chair with me as we watched TV together
He grew old watching saffron daylight with a cold lemon tea in his hands and Ricola in his pockets
I highlight in yellow as the cold play and I could relate when I wait putting on Carmex lip balm
I remember eagerly waiting the good days of old
The trips and the drives with three hearts of gold in a golden car under the bright sunlight
My name is Gaa Chíng My name is akin to a yellow sun
