Before I Forget - An Impromptu Song. A song fading into the sky. A song I want to reach someone, someday.

While in the bath,
my son suddenly speaks up.

I wonder what kind of doctor I can become.

Yes, his interests are wide and shallow.
He is the type to be curious about many things.
Rather than digging deep into one thing, he wants to know about the world, the Earth, and the universe.

If you research a lot, think, and come up with your own answers, maybe you can become all sorts of doctors.
I told him something like, 'No, you can become a doctor of the world.'

I, too, was curious about many things
and thought about many things.
Astronaut, surgeon, president, film director, writer...

I didn't become any of those,
but actually, I haven't given up yet.

That is why I want my son to be free to go as far as he wants.
I want him to be someone who soars through the world.

As I was thinking that,
perhaps feeling good,

The world is beautiful,
the world is beautiful,
he began to sing.
In the middle, he was singing something about let's make a wonderful world,
but the echo in the bath made it hard to hear...
When I asked him what the lyrics were,
he kept singing, 'I forgot!'

When I look up, the sky is a blue sky

he sang out.

Usually, he swears that everything is the worst,
gets frustrated
because he can't play his game well,
sheds tears,
and is always being scolded by me!
He sheds tears again,
lamenting that there is nothing good in life.

Even so,

when he feels good,
he firmly possesses the sensibility
to sing that the world is beautiful.

Isn't that just fine?

Yes,
the world is beautiful.

I wonder if I could sing like him. The endless power
hidden in that small body.

From time to time, he makes up songs as he pleases and sings them.

For some reason,
the songs he makes sound like they are encouraging someone.
I also feel like he is singing for everyone to do their best.
He probably doesn't realize it himself,
but he is kind in his own way.

It will be okay after all.
Thank you for the wonderful song.
