Azure shell- <strong><i>My Little History...</i></strong>

There're two things in the world
That I can't help but dream
One is the azure'd sky,
The other is the boundless blue sea.
When I was a little child
Concepts of the ocean was always dim
For an unexpected illness
Deprived me of the privilege of being Free.
Lying in the sickening white bed
I was unable to move even a limb
On that operating table did I see
That I was terribly weak.
The doctors commenced their sacred deeds
When one of them said to me-
''Yo, buddy, are you still awake?
In my hometown, there's a sunlit beach.
On it were a lot of coconut trees,
And countless boats in the sea...
Yo, boy, my little buddy,
We've got some problems in your tummy.
Would you mind to give me a promise,
That you'll hold on until we complete?"
Half conscious I might have been
Never did my imagination cease
I tried to think about the life on a cruising ship
Where the winds blows at all my proud sails........
Several days passed before the world again came in to view
A dull pain told me my skin had been sewed
Beside my bed, in a chair was my mother calmly asleep
On the nightstand there was a picture of an infinite sea...
Years has passed ever since
Not for a second did I forget that life-saving belief
Cherish the love, hope and dream
Their's nowhere else I'd rather be.
So here I am
Towards an unknown ocean deep
Nothing in the world could stop me
For that's what I believe....
Here I am
This is me....
This is my real history. When I was 4 years old, a serious disease struck me. I could have been easily dead, had the doctor not save me... To Mr. Tao, my lifesaver... You pulled a little life back from the God Of Death, and told him that for a good life, he needs a splendid dream...
