When the day is gone, youth comes naturally.
Moss flowers are as small as rice, and they also bloom like peonies.

Translation: In the shade where the bright spring sunshine cannot shine, life is still sprouting and growing vigorously. Even the moss flowers as tiny as rice grains do not give up on themselves at all. Not ashamed of herself, she still blooms proudly like the beautiful and noble peony.
Appreciation: This is an inspirational poem about life. Although Moss is in a place where the sun cannot shine, it is so small. In spring, it still has green and life. The flowers bloom as small as rice, but they must bloom like peonies. Because in Moss's heart, he and the peony are We have the same earth and the same vast sky above our heads. Nameless flowers bloom quietly, unobtrusively, and no one cheers. Even so, it is still so persistently open, seriously blooming its most beautiful moments to the world without reservation. This is also the most desirable situation in our lives.
