翻譯一首來自小兒子的英文生日卡小詩,愛與被愛的感覺很美好!
《因為有你,媽媽》
因為有你,媽媽,
我懂得了愛是無價。
是包容,是不怕,
是笑容裡悄悄的牽掛。
是喜悅能一起分享,
是信念不輕放下。
是給我勇氣和方向,
讓心堅定如初踏。
因為有你,媽媽,
我明白了家的回答。
是笑聲中彼此靠近,
是眼神裡不用說話。
是真實,不偽裝,
是朋友般的念掛,
無論風雨怎麼颳,
你總在那裡,像暖茶。
因為有你,媽媽,
我懂得什麼最值得記掛。
不是名利,不是繁華,
是愛與家的根紮。
它們平凡,卻最真,
它們靜靜,心卻大。
這世界太複雜,
你卻讓我心安如家。
生日快樂,我的媽媽!
Because of you, Mom
Because of you,
Mom,
I know what love is.
It’s patience.
It’s sacrifice.
It’s sharing joy
and keeping faith.
And it’s what makes
us strong
and helps us
find our way.
Because of you,
Mom,
I know what family is.
It’s laughing.
It’s leaning.
It’s being “real”
and being friends.
And it will always be there,
no matter what.
Because of you,
Mom,
I know what’s at
the heart of a good life…
love and family—
those things
that are true and lasting.
They make a difference…
I know that because of you.
Happy birthday Mom.
