My grandfather's clock
Was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half
Than the old man himself
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
It was bought on the morn
Of the day that he was born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering
Tick, Tock Tick, Tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick, Tock, Tick Tock
It stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
In watching its pendulum
Swing to and fro
Many hours had he spent while a boy
And in childhood and manhood
The clock seemed to know
And to share both his grief and his joy
For it struck twenty-four
When he entered at the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
For it struck twenty-four
When he entered at the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
It rang an alarm
In the dead of the night
An alarm that for years had been dumb
And we knew that his spirit
Was pluming for flight
That his hour of departure had come
Still the clock kept the time
With a soft and muffled chime
As we silently stood by his side
But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering
Tick, Tock Tick, Tock
His life seconds numbering
Tick, Tock, Tick Tock
It stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
It stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died (更多)
人生不過如此,
等待最大的燦爛,
必須有著平常與忍讓,
再大的問題都會迎刃而解的!
大環境、大社會,
是大家所共有的!
要做任何事之前,
要先想想可能會對其他人造成的傷害,
人與人之間的傷害就會越來越小!
沒有所謂的「人神共怒」,
只有人與人之間的心繫,
過分的愛自己,
將會導致傷害到別人!
觀看日本這次的災害後,
我對日本人另眼看待,
高度的自治、自愛,
不偷、不搶、不爭、不亂!
人生就是如此,
世間就不至於亂,
雖亂卻有序!
震災後看過了許多文章,
讓我感受到日本人民的樂天安命,
甚至井然有序的社會力,
我相信他們會在最短的時間內重振的,
真的值得我們好好的去學習!
每個人無需要發揮到大我,
認真的做好小我,
整個力量將會發揮至大我!
從今而起!大家真要慎思之~~~~~~~~
