Daddy's Poem
 爸爸的诗
 
Her hair was up in a pony tail,
her favorite dress tied with a bow.
Today was Daddy's Day at school,
and she couldn't wait to go.
 
But her mommy tried to tell her,
 that she probably should stay home.
 Why the kids might not understand,
 if she went to school alone.
 
But she was not afraid;
 she knew just what to say.
 What to tell her classmates
 of why he wasn't there today.
 
But still her mother worried,
 for her to face this day alone.
 And that was why once again,
 she tried to keep her daughter home.
 
But the little girl went to school
 eager to tell them all.
 About a dad she never sees
 a dad who never calls.
 
There were daddies along the wall in back,
 for everyone to meet.
 Children squirming impatiently,
 anxious in their seats
 
One by one the teacher called
 a student from the class.
 To introduce their daddy,
 as seconds slowly passed.
 
At last the teacher called her name,
 every child turned to stare.
 Each of them was searching,
 a man who wasn't there.
 
"Where's her daddy at?"
 She heard a boy call out.
 "She probably doesn't have one,"
 another student dared to shout.
 And from somewhere near the back,
 she heard a daddy say,
 "Looks like another deadbeat dad,
 too busy to waste his day."
 
The words did not offend her,
 as she smiled up at her Mom.
 And looked back at her teacher,
 who told her to go on.

 And with hands behind her back,
 slowly she began to speak.
 And out from the mouth of a child,
 came words incredibly unique.
 
"My Daddy couldn't be here,
 because he lives so far away.
 But I know he wishes he could be,
 since this is such a special day.
 
And though you cannot meet him,
 I wanted you to know.
 All about my daddy,
 and how much he loves me so.
 
He loved to tell me stories
 he taught me to ride my bike.
 He surprised me with pink roses,
 and taught me to fly a kite.
 
We used to share fudge sundaes,
 and ice cream in a cone.
 And though you cannot see him.
 I'm not standing here alone.
 
"Cause my daddy's always with me,
 even though we are apart
 I know because he told me,
 he'll forever be in my heart"
 
With that, her little hand reached up,
 and lay across her chest.
 Feeling her own heartbeat,
 beneath her favorite dress.
 
And from somewhere here in the crowd of dads,
 her mother stood in tears.
 Proudly watching her daughter,
 who was wise beyond her years.
  
For she stood up for the love
 of a man not in her life.
 Doing what was best for her,
 doing what was right.
 
And when she dropped her hand back down,
 staring straight into the crowd.
 She finished with a voice so soft,
 but its message clear and loud.
 
"I love my daddy very much,
 he's my shining star.
 And if he could, he'd be here,
 but heaven's just too far.
 
You see he is a Marine
 and died just this past year
 When a roadside bomb hit his convoy
 and taught Americans to fear.
 But sometimes when I close my eyes,
 it's like he never went away."
 And then she closed her eyes,
 and saw him there that day.
 
And to her mothers amazement,
 she witnessed with surprise.
 A room full of daddies and children,
 all starting to close their eyes.
 
Who knows what they saw before them,
 who knows what they felt inside.
 Perhaps for merely a second,
 they saw him at her side.
 
"I know you're with me Daddy,"
 to the silence she called out.
 And what happened next made believers,
 of those once filled with doubt.
 
Not one in that room could explain it,
 for each of their eyes had been closed.
 But there on the desk beside her,
 was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.
 
And a child was blessed, if only for a moment,
 by the love of her shining star.
 And given the gift of believing,
 that heaven is never too far.
 
They say it takes a minute to find a special
 person, an hour to appreciate them,
 a day to love them, but then an entire
 life to forget them.
 
Send this to the people you'll never forget and
 remember to send it also to the person that sent
 it to you. It's a short message to let them know
 that you'll never forget them.
 
If you don't send it to anyone, it means you're
 in a hurry and that you've forgotten your  friends.
 
Take the time...to live and love.
 放慢你的脚步。。。去生活，去爱，
Until eternity. God bless!
直到永远。上帝保佑！

三字经

yoyo 发表于 2006-08-09 10:06:13

很小的时候总是听着邻居的老人说三字经，听了很多年也只不过学会了：人之初，性本善，性相近，习相远， 其他的都没有什么印象了。 上次回去中国的时候，到书店转了个圈，发现了《三字经》，一时心血来潮把它买了下来，却一直放着都没空好好的读读。昨晚睡不着的时候翻着书架里的一大堆书，发现一直呆着没动过的《三字经》，终于伸手把它抽了出来，好好的读上了一个晚上，还是没法背下来，不过还是觉得蛮有意思的，涵盖的内容从道德到历史，还朗朗上口的。我想每天抄一点，当是上学时候做功课吧。*明天再继续。。。*

人之初   性本善 
 性相近   习相远
苟不教   性乃迁  
教之道   贵以专
昔孟母   择邻处  
子不学   断机杼
窦燕山   有义方
教五子   名俱扬
养不教   父之过
教不严   师之惰
子不学   非所宜
幼不学   老何为
玉不琢   不成器
人不学   不知义
为人子   方少时
亲师友   习礼仪
香九龄   能温席
孝于亲    所当执
融四岁   能让梨
弟于长    宜先知  
首孝悌   次见闻
知某数   识某文  
一而十   十而百
百而千   千而万
三才者   天地人
三光者   日月星
