A SANDPIPER TO BRING YOU JOY
Tears welled up in my eyes and a heart that had almost forgotten to love opened wide. I took Wendy’s mother in my arms. “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, I muttered over and over, and we wept together.
The precious little picture is framed now and hangs in my study. Six words — one for each year of her life — that speak to me of harmony, courage, and undemanding love. A gift from a child with sea-blue eyes and hair the color of sand — who taught me the gift of love.
我第一次和她在那个海滩上相遇时,她整六岁。这个海滩离我的住处约有三、四英里。每当我心情压抑,感到烦恼时,就驱车上那儿去。当时她正在用沙子堆积一个城堡似的东西。看到我来,她抬起头来望着我,那双眼睛像大海般深邃、湛蓝。
“您好!她说。我点了点头作为回答,说实在的,我没有心思跟一个小女孩费神。“我在盖房子呢!她又说。
“我看见了。这盖的是什么房子呢?我心不在焉地问道。
“噢,我不知道,我就是喜欢摸沙子的感觉。
这倒有意思,我边想边脱掉鞋子。蓦地,一只矶鹞从一旁滑翔而过。孩子见了说:“那是欢乐。
“是什么?
“是欢乐,矶鹞能给人们带来欢乐,妈妈说的。 那只矶鹞顺着海滨飞走了。
“再见了,快乐,我自言自语道,“痛苦来临了。并转身走开。我很沮丧,因为我现在的生活一团糟。
