lake of autumn
i remember quite clearly now when the story happened. the autumn leaves were floating in measure down to the ground, recovering the lake, where we used to swim like children, under the sun was there to shire. that time we used to be happy. well, i thought we were. but the truth was that you had been longing to leave me, not daring to tell me. on that precious night, watching the lake, vaguely conscious. you said:" our story is ending."
the rain was killing the last days of summer, you had been killing my last breath of love, since a long time ago. i still don't think i'm gonna make it through another love story. you took it all away from me. and there i stand, i knew i was going to be the one left behind. but still i'm watching the lake, vaguely conscious, and i know my life is ending.

these things shall never die 這些美好不會消逝
by --charles dickens/查爾斯.狄更斯
the bright,the beautiful, 一切純潔的,輝煌的,美麗的,
that stirred our hearts in youth, 強烈地震撼着我們年輕的心靈的,
the impulses to wordless prayer, 推動着我們做無言的禱告的,
the dreams of love and truth; 讓我們夢想着愛與真理的;
the longing after something's lost, 在失去後爲之感到珍惜的,
the spirit's yearning cry, 使靈魂深切地呼喊着的,
the striving after better hopes- 爲了更美好的夢想而奮鬥着的-
these things can never die. 這些美好不會消逝。
the timid hand stretched forth to aid 羞怯地伸出援助的手，
a brother in his need, 在你的弟兄需要的時候，
a kindly word in grief's dark hour 傷慟、困難的時候，一句親切的話
that proves a friend indeed ; 就足以證明朋友的真心；
the plea for mercy softly breathed, 輕聲地乞求憐憫，
when justice threatens nigh, 在審判臨近的時候，
the sorrow of a contrite heart- 懊悔的心有一種傷感--
these things shall never die. 這些美好不會消逝。
let nothing pass for every hand 在人間傳遞溫情
must find some work to do ; 盡你所能地去做；
lose not a chance to waken love- 別錯失去了喚醒愛的良機-----
be firm,and just ,and true; 爲人要堅定，正直，忠誠；
so shall a light that cannot fade 因此上方照耀着你的那道光芒
beam on thee from on high. 就不會消失。
and angel voices say to thee---你將聽到天使的聲音在說-----
these things shall never die. 這些美好不會消逝。

what kind of world is it my friend
that little children see?
i wonder if they see god first
because they just believe?
do they see strength in caring eyes
who watch them as they play -
or maybe love through gentle hands
that guide them on their way?
do you think they dream of future times
when they would be a king -
or just enjoy their present life
while with their friends they sing?
do they see the acts of kindness
done for people who are poor?
is the very best in everyone
what they are looking for?
and when the day is over,
as they close their eyes to sleep,
do they look forward to tomorrow
with its promises to keep?
if this is what the children see,
then it should be no surprise,
the world would be a better place
if we all had children's eyes.
