You, little child, with your shining eyes and dimpled cheeks, you can lead us along the pathway to the more abundant life.
We blundering grownups need in our lives the virtues that you have in yours:
The joy and enthusiasm of looking forward to each new day with glorious expectations of wonderful things to come.
The vision that sees the world as a splendid place with good fairies, brave knights, and glistening castles reaching toward the sky.
The radiant curiosity that finds adventure in simple things: the mystery of billowy clouds, the miracle of snowflakes, the magic of growing flowers.
The tolerance that forgets differences as quickly as your childish quarrels are spent, that holds no grudges, that hates never, that loves people for what they are.
The genuineness of being oneself; to be done with sham, pretense, and empty show; to be simple, natural and sincere.
The courage that rises from defeat and tries again, as you with laughing face rebuild the house of blocks that topples to the floor.
孩子！你的眼睛闪着光泽，微笑时，你的双颊露出小小的酒窝。一路上，你引导我们走向更丰富多彩的生活。
我们这些生活浮躁的成年人，需要你们身上的这些美德：
你们欢乐而热忱地期待新一天的到来，欣喜地盼望美好事情的发生。
你们看到的世界，就像一个神奇的地方：有善良的仙女，勇敢的骑士，还有金光闪闪的城堡直冲云霄。
你们强烈的好奇心能在小事中发现许多奥秘：汹涌的云海神秘莫测；飘飞的雪花奇妙无比，含苞的花朵魅力无穷。
你们胸怀宽广，孩子气地争吵以后，很快就忘记分歧，不会怀恨在心，你们喜欢人们真实的样子。
你们表现自己的本性，没有矫情的伪装和空洞的做作；你们纯朴、自然、诚恳。
你们有勇气从失败中站起，从头再来，正如你会面带欢笑，把倒在地上的积木重新搭建成楼房那样。
