The Watcher
She always leaned to watch for us .
Anxious if we were late ,
In winter by the window ,
In summer by the gate ;
And though we mocked her tenderly ,
Who had such foonich care ,
The long way home would seem more safe ,
Because she waited there .
Her thoughts were all so full of us
She never could forget !
And so I think that where she is
She must be watching yet,
Waiting till we come home to her
Anxious if we are late ______
Watching from Heaven's window ,
Leaning from Heaven's gate.
守望中的妈妈
她总在那儿把我们守望，
我们晚归会使她发慌，
冬天里守在窗前
夏日里靠在门前。
我们曾善意地将她嘲弄
这般呵护似乎超出正常
可漫长的归途却平添了安全
因为有她在殷切地翘望。
她心里盛下的却是我们，
却不曾有一刻的遗忘！
我欣然感到她的那番期待
无论她身处什么地方。
守望，一直到我们远回到她身旁
若晚归，会使她发慌?
守望，在天庭之窗，
伫立，在天庭的门廊。
