Trong khi anh đang chơi
em nhìn nụ cười đẹp của anh
vô hạn và vô cùng

    I love that this is for little Van. With what sweetness he must look upon you.

      I’m not sure how Google (or similar) would translate with the Southeast Asian pronouns, but it says, “While older brother is playing, younger brother looks at his beautiful smile, limitless and infinite.”

      Anyway, if Văn is going to ask so much of me, pray he will be gentle! 😅
