外国诗歌：如果有来生

　　If I had my life to live over...I would have talkedless and listened more.
　　I would have invited friends over to dinner evenif the carpet was strained and the sofa faded.
/ V1 j; w7 K4 O: p$ g2 f, y　　I would have taken the time to listen to mygrandfather ramble about his youth.
　　I would never have insisted the car windows berolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
1 c" x' u9 A. m4 G: V/ M　　I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
　　I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.
　　I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watchinglife.
3 E# {- i/ j- W! J　　I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into aholding patter if I were not there for the day.
3 p1 w% ~, j) Y' R) `& v　　I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, would not show soil orwas guaranteed to last a life time.
& V  @$ _, @. o. W6 @1 ^　　There would have been more "I love yous" ... more "I'm sorrys"... but mostly, given anothershots at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it...live it...and never give itback.
, S8 |4 W/ c2 y. g$ @5 ?( e) l　　如果有来生，我会少说，多听
1 y  f+ e* A# ^2 W　　我会请朋友来家吃饭，即便地毯脏了，沙发褪色了。
　　我会抽时间听祖父絮叨他的青年时代
　　我不会因为刚刚把头发梳理定型而要求在夏天关上车窗。
　　我会点燃那支雕成玫瑰状的蜡烛，而不让它在尘封中熔化。
7 K) @2 V5 c, F( M　　我会与孩子们坐在草地上，不去担心草地上的污渍。
" s" Z/ t) d% o4 y' C0 [/ F　　我会把泪水和笑声更多地留给观察人生，而不是观看电视。
0 r0 I4 \8 m+ ~　　如果生病了，我会卧床休息，而不是自认没有我，地球就不转了。
- n8 o# P# C, g) G; v( Q5 z　　我不会买那些仅仅是实用，或者不显脏，或者保证能用一生的东西。
　　我会更多地说“我爱你”……“对不起”……然而，最重要的是，如果有来生，
　　我会抓住每一秒……看人生，读人生……体验人生……再也不放手。
