Gratitude Lyrics
July 13, 1946
Dear General MacArthur
With your permission
I offer wishes of good health
During this heat
That burns anything
The words I slowly put together
Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart
Recently, fulfilling
Your heart's desire
You removed the whaling
Moratorium
Your gesture brings
A much needed food
To our community
And families
The words I slowly put together
Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart
A million year old fossil
I send to you
This comes from my family
And the ancient sea
A prehistoric impression
Of the modern krill
She feeds the noble whale
And offers you longevity
The words I slowly put together
Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart
Finally, please take good care in the heat
Sincerely yours
Shizuka
