孩子,如果我还能养你长大

孩子,如果我还能养你长大
孩子,如果我还能养你长大

对你,那只是一则头条;

对他们,却是一辈子…… 

呵护他们,不要留下如果。



孩子,如果我还能养你长大

如果我能再次养大我的孩子  

诗 | (英)黛安·仑曼斯

如果我能再次养大我的孩子,

我会先蹲下,再温柔地诉说。

我会多将拇指竖起,

少用食指指点。

我会拿出更多微笑给孩子。

如果我能再次养大我的孩子,

我会少用眼睛看分数表,

多用眼睛看优点。

我会注意少一点责备,

而去多一点关心。

我会将板着的脸收藏,

而成为孩子的玩伴,

跟着孩子一起跑原野去看星星。

如果我能再次养大我的孩子,

我会早早地将他推出门

……尽管我很心疼。

我会多拥抱,少搀扶。

我不再追求对权力的爱,

我会效法爱的力量。

如果……

如果,已经没有如果,

我不再后悔过往行动,

从当下开始!

孩子,如果我还能养你长大

英文:

If I had my child to raise all over again,

I"d build self esteem first, and the house later.

I"d fingerpaint more, and point the finger less.

I would do less correcting and more connecting.

I"d take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.

I would care to know less and know to care more.

I"d take more hikes and fly more kites.

I"d stop playing serious, and seriously play.

I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.

I"d do more hugging and less tugging.

I"d see the oak tree in the acorn more often.

I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.

I"d model less about the love of power,

And more about the power of love.
