人的一生

童年，恍如昨日
爬树捉迷藏踢足球
斗蜘蛛打架鱼玻璃涂层线，逐纸鸢
无知无虑

校园校外
期考运动课外
捣蛋逃学打架温书抱佛脚
一晃，来去无踪

好男要当兵
步操，障碍，作战训练，实弹射击
24公里路线行军
成就了负责任成熟青年

入社会工作,大学
各有所需所限，各奔前程
毕业就业敬业乐业
掀开生命的下一个乐章

沉醉爱河
依偎夕阳共栖晚霞
星空披身圆月同枕
甜蜜梦幻

年轻的激情
雄心万丈壮志凌云
创业，开发新颖领域，改变社会
只见终点忘了旅途

成家立室
养儿育女寸草春晖
灵魂伴侣携手偕老
一生守护一辈子牵挂

人过中年，方才
放慢脚步放松身心
愉悦身边的人和事
体验生活中的小幸福

一转，已是白头
不说功成名就
也谈不上踌躇满志
只能说去过做过

一甲子辗转，回首
人生旅程缘分交织
漂泊时间的涟漪中
寻找生命的独特旋律

Life’s Journey

childhood, seems like yesterday
climb trees, play hide and seek, play soccer
match fighting spiders, fighting fish, glass-coated kite strings, chase paper kites
clueless and carefree

in school and outside
semester exams, sports, extracurricular activities
make trouble, play truant, fight, study at last minute
in a flash, comes and goes without a trace

a good man should be proud to join the army
marching, foot drills, obstacle course, combat training, live firing
24km route march
deliver responsible and mature youths

start work，university
each his own needs and limitations, and each goes his own way
graduate, start employment, happy in work with pride and dedication
unveil the next chapter in life

falling in love
snuggle together against the sunset and linger in the evening glow
pulling the starry sky to cover ourselves and the full moon as our pillow
sweet and magical

passion of the young heart
great ambitions lofty aspirations
start a business, develop novel fields, and change society
fixated with end goals and miss the joy of the journey

get married start family
raise children, careful nurturing and devotion like giving light and warmth to blade of grass
soul mates, growing old together
a lifetime of guarding over, a lifetime of care and devotion

passed middle age, only then
slow down the pace and relax the body and mind
enjoy the people and things around us
relish the little moments of joy in life

turn around, and already sporting white hair
not to claim success in life
nor to say having achieved great aspirations and ambitions
can only say “been there, done that”

having 60 years eventful experiences and challenges, looking back
the journey of life is intertwined with destiny, connections and encounters
afloat in the ripples of time
seeking the unique melody of life
