Ji Hae Park, The Violinist
A Korean girl born in Germany,
raised by a violinist, her mother
Praying ceaselessly to Father in Heaven
For a dream for her little girl
One day to become a good violinist
Fighting the loneliness and growing pain
At the end, one fateful day,
She became the top violinist in the world.
Accepting the gift of Heaven graciously
And yet,
She asked guidance for more maturity
Her testimony in Korean touched the heart of a poet
Among many in the large sanctuary of the Korean Central Presbyterian Church
So fitting it was
Her word, each word, from her heart
Ascended to become a bright star in the sky of the Spring night
The music from her violin
From Vivaldi to Handel,
From Amazing Grace to her words
The mysteriously beautiful flowers in the garden of blossoms adorned
----Yearn Hong Choi
