He longed to be the wind and blow through your rustling branches， to be your shadow and lengthen with the day on the water， to be a bird and perch on your topmost twig， and to float like those ducks among the weeds and shadows.
榕 树
哦，你，立在池边的枝叶蓬乱的榕树，你是否已经忘了那个小孩，那宛如曾在你枝头筑巢，而又离开了你的鸟儿似的小孩？
你还记得他怎样坐在窗前，惊异于看到你那盘绕在地下的树根吗？
女人们常到池边装上满满一罐子水，于是，你巨大的黑影在水面上**漾，宛如沉睡的人要挣扎着醒过来。
阳光在微波上舞动，好似不能歇息片刻的梭子在编织着金黄的壁毯。
两只鸭子在水草边游**，影子在上面摇晃，孩子静静地坐在那里沉思。
他想变成风，吹过你簌簌的枝丫；想变成你的影子，随着阳光在水面上消长；想成为一只鸟儿，栖息在你最高的枝头上；还想变成那两只鸭，在水草与影子中穿梭。
Benediction
Bless this little heart， this white soul that has won the kiss of heaven for our earth .
He loves the light of the sun， he loves the sight of his mother’s face.
He has not learned to despise the dust， and to hanker after gold.
Clasp him to your heart and bless him.
He has come into this land of an hundred crossroads.
I know not how he chose you from the crowd， came to your door， and grasped your hand to ask his way.
He will follow you， laughing and talking， and not a doubt in his heart.
Keep his trust， lead him straight and bless him.
Lay your hand on his head， and pray that though the waves underneath grow threatening， yet the breath from above may come and fill his sails and waft him to the haven of peace.
Forget him not in your hurry， let him come to your heart and bless him.
祝 福
祝福这颗小小的心灵，这个纯洁的灵魂为我们的大地，赢得了上天的亲吻。
