The Watcher

　　守望中的妈妈

　　She always leaned to watch for us 。

　　Anxious if we were late ，

　　In winter by the window ，

　　In summer by the gate ;

　　And though we mocked her tenderly ，

　　Who had such foonich care ，

　　The long way home would seem more safe ，

　　Because she waited there 。

　　Her thoughts were all so full of us

　　She never could forget ！

　　And so I think that where she is

　　She must be watching yet，

　　Waiting till we come home to her

　　Anxious if we are late ______

　　Watching from Heaven‘s window

　　Leaning from Heaven’s gate.

　　她总在那儿把我们守望，

　　我们晚归会使她发慌，

　　冬天里守在窗前

　　夏日里靠在门前。

　　我们曾善意地将她嘲弄

　　这般呵护似乎超出正常

　　可漫长的归途却平添了安全

　　因为有她在殷切地翘望。

　　她心里盛下的却是我们，

　　却不曾有一刻的遗忘！

　　我欣然感到她的那番期待

　　无论她身处什么地方。

　　守望，一直到我们远回到她身旁

　　若晚归，会使她发慌，

　　守望，在天庭之窗，

　　伫立，在天庭的门廊。
