Daddy’s Little Girl 爸爸的小女孩

If I had my life to do over, 生命若可輪迴，
I’d have chosen you to be my dad 當為我父再次。
once more.
Even if it meant losing you again, 就算再次分離
It’s worth all the tears in the 贏取世上淚水
world.
You were my sunshine when skies 天暗您為我光，
were gray.
I loved you and honored you; 我敬您，我愛您
You took all my tears away. 為我拭盡淚水，
I was happy to be with you, 快樂有您相隨，
Proud to be your little girl. 女兒為您而驕。
Sometimes we would argue, 就算有所爭辯，
But to me you meant the world. 您仍是我一切。
Your love was always pure; 您有純潔的愛，
You treated me as your own. 愛我猶如愛己。
Your time seemed all too short and 生命如斯短暫，
I feel so alone. 令我更覺孤單。
What can I take from this? 思我所學所得？
My heart is completely crushed. 我心盡碎盡失。
But nothing loved is ever lost - 但您遺愛人間，
And you are loved so much. 愛您之心永存。

 

My Father (For You Daddy)

Every daughter likes to think 為人女者皆想，
That her father is the best, 自己父親最棒，
But there’s no doubt for me, Dad, 但我毫無疑問，
That you’re far above the rest. 您是無人能及。

When I was a little girl 憶我年幼稚時，
You took time to play with me. 抽空伴我遊玩；
You’d wrestle, read, or color, 您曾動靜皆宜，
Though so tired you would be. 永不訴說疲倦。

You knew that play was not enough 您知只求玩耍，
To make the greatest dad. 難成偉大父親。
You also shared God’s love for me, 卻教同沐主愛，
And for this I’m very glad. 與我共享天恩。

Your godly life has made you 上主為您典範，
The best father there could be; 成就最佳家嚴；
You’ve followed God’s example 聖靈為您引導，
Of what a father should be. 非凡父親啻造。

I love you, Father, on this day 爸爸我所敬愛，
As well as on the rest. 從今直至終點；
No dad on earth compares to you. 世上無人能及，
You simply are the best. 我父始終最好。

************************

God saw you getting tired 「主」已察覺您倦，
When a cure was not to be. 皆因藥石不靈。
He closed His arms around you 祂輕抱您身軀，
And whispered, ‘Come to Me’ 說：到我跟前來。
In tears we saw you sinking 淚海中您漸沉，
We watched you fade away. 靈魂正在消逝；
Our hearts were almost broken 我們傷心欲絕，
You fought so hard to stay. 您為生命而戰。
But when we saw you sleeping 但見瞑目長眠，
So peacefully from pain, 安祥遠離苦痛；
We could not wish you back 請上路，莫回頭，
To suffer so again. 莫記塵世痛苦。
So keep your arms around him, 求祂環抱莫棄，
Lord, and give him special care 護我父，莫忘記；
Make up for all that he suffered 從此無痛無苦，
And all that seemed unfair. 不平事，皆作古。

A true friend

知己良朋 Chinese version translated by nqph2004

We met upon the internet,
網中低頭見，
My heart you did not have yet.
兩心不曾牽；
I sit and wait each day,
每天坐與等，
for the song my heart will soon play.
心曲終譜成。
Of laughter, love and tears,
悲歡友情在，
You have washed away all my fears.
心魔洗得快；
To be my friend and see so deep,
良朋窺心透，
I now know why I don’t get much sleep.
短睡也足夠。
I have waited through all these years,
等待經有年，
To find something to hold so dear.
寶貴勝金錢；
And now I know I’ll never be Blue,
不再有煩憂，
For I have found a true friend in you.
真情永不休。

 

I need a friend

 

Last Sunset

This was our last,
Last sunset,
The last kiss,
The moment we shared,
We cherished it well,
How we spent it was well enough to make me cry,
The sunset was beautiful as if I can kiss the sky,
As we kiss,
You fade away in my arms,
The things we shared is gone,
The moments we had is gone,
No more us,
No more you,
I miss you,
As you fade away,
Away you go,
Sudden saddness I become,
Over you,
Over the sound the waves crashs,
Crashs towards the waves of the sun,
As you see the sunset,
Fawefell to you and I.

Jennifer Rondeau

 

I love you this much

 

Just for this day

Just for this morning, I am going to smile whenever I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.

Just for this morning, I will let you wake up softly, all rumpled in your flannel and I will hold you until you are ready.

Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear, and smile and say you’re beautiful.

Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.

Just for this morning, I am going to eat a huge breakfast , with bacon eggs, toast and waffles, and you don’t have to eat any.

Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that 100 piece puzzle together.

Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the garden blowing bubbles.

Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.

Just for this afternoon, I won’t worry about what you are going to be when you grow up or who you might have been before your diagnosis.

Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won’t stand over you trying to ‘fix’ things.

Just for this afternoon, I will let you put all kinds of barettes in my hair, and put lipstick on my face, and I will tell you how pretty you have made me look.

Just for this afternoon I will take you to McDonalds and buy us both a Happy meal so you can have both toys.

Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born, and how much we love you.

Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the bathtub and not get angry when you throw water over your sister’s head.

Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch swing and count all the stars.

Just for this evening, I will bring you glasses of water, and snuggle beside you for three hours and miss my favorite show on t.v.

Just for this evening, When I kneel down to pray, I will simply be grateful for all that I have and not ask for anything, except…

Just one more day.
