A Poem for Myself

Birthday Blessings
Instead of counting candles,
Or tallying the years,
Contemplate your blessings,
As your birthday nears.

Consider special people
Who love you, and who care,
And others who’ve enriched your life
Just by being there.

Think about the memories
Passing years can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made you who you are.

Another year is a happy gift,
So cut your cake, and say,"
Instead of counting birthdays,I
count blessings every day!"

听说,今天是你生日,
我想,在这留下些祝福。

在你的许许多多生日祝福里,
希望这一篇“莫名其妙”冒出的祝福,
也带给你一些“莫名其妙”的喜悦。

放慢脚步,尽情享受人生,
因为,在冲冲忙忙赶路时,
错过的,不只是一路上的风景,
还有那你一直坚持的方向。

"Slow down and enjoy life.
It's not only
the scenery you miss by going too fast -
you also miss the sense of where you are going and why"

在你一篇篇风花雪月的部落格里,
知道你过得不很匆忙,
也的确放慢着脚部,在享受人生,

在这接下来的一年里,
祝你,还是能以同样写意的步伐,
去看一路上的风景,
去坚持你的方向。

生日,快乐,
