I'm Here to See it Bloom

生命足滿著無數的期待, 無數的可能性, 阿達終於有幸可以停一停, 抖一抖, 仔細欣賞周遭, 期待著天父無數的驚喜, thank you, my lord ! ^o^



以下詩句願與各位好友分享, 不是阿達扮高深, 而是有感而發吧..^o^





Plant a Flower, Plant a Vine. Plant a Tree?

...A Poem





If I plant a flower, chances are

I live to see it bloom...and die.

A flower's time is short. It's born

in Spring, and by the Fall is dead.



If I plant a vine, I may,

may not, see it slowly climb

and thrive, branch its barky way,

graced by burr and gentle green.



But, should I plant a tree

whose end I'll never see?

Never see it grow so tall,

barely see it grow at all?



Should I plant a tree,

when I will cease to be,

never watch the leaves unfold,

never its full growth behold?



If I do not plant the tree,

someone else who loves the tree

as much as I, come after me,

will not have the chance to see.



Yes, I should plant a tree,

both for myself and thee.

God and nature, life agree;

I plant for all, for me, for thee.
