Living life over
If I had my life to live over...I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded.
I would have taken the time to listen to my
grandfather ramble1 about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted2 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 watching life.
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding patter if I were not there for the day.
I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time.
There would have been more "I love yous" ... more "I'm sorrys"... but mostly, given another shots at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it...live it...and never give it back.
如果有来生我会抓住每一秒
如果我能活下去.我会少说多听。

我本想花点时间听我祖父喋喋不休地谈论他的青春。

我绝不会坚持在夏天的一天把车窗卷起来，因为我的头发刚刚被人取笑和喷洒。

我会把雕刻成玫瑰花的粉红蜡烛烧掉，然后在仓库里融化。

我会和我的孩子们坐在草坪上，而不担心草地上的污渍。

我会在看电视的时候少哭笑，多看生活。

当我生病的时候，我就会上床睡觉，而不是假装如果我一天没有在那里，地球就会变成一种按兵不动的敲击声。

我绝不会买任何东西仅仅因为它是实用的，不会显示土壤或保证寿命。

会有更多的“我爱你”.更多的“我很抱歉”.但大多数情况下，如果再给我一次生命的机会，我会抓住每一分钟.看着它，真正地看到它.活下去.永远也不回.。
