新生代的來臨該衷心祝福吧。此時此刻，送上最好的願望。The arrival of a new life itself deserves whole-hearted celebrations... (FP Editor) **English translation after Chinese original text.

媽媽
是白衣天使
所以
妳是天使的天使
南丁格爾說
天使
不是為世間灑下漂亮花朵的人
而是
為世上苦惱者奮戰的人
很勞累吧
聽說
人一生中
心跳多少次
呼吸多少次
走多少步路
眨多少次眼睛
都有定數
無可改變
不容抗逆
很沒趣吧
生於渾沌
歸於虛無
人人如是
途中
妳會追逐一些東西
追逐甚麼
怎樣追逐
飄渺的實在的
無人保證會成功
也許白忙一場
很氣餒吧
當然不
不會艱難也不會容易
不全為自己也不全為他人
今天乒乓球大小的腦袋
會慢慢長大
長大後
會給妳答案
抵達虛無前一切一切的答案
及一份大獎…
沿途的風光
[完]
[original poem translated into English by Linda Lai]
Your Mom is
A white-cloaked angel
Therefore
You’re the angel of an angel
Nightingale says
Angels…
No showering flowers for the human world
But perhaps
Those fighting for the miseries swelling
Tiresome. Isn’t it?
As some sayings go…
Throughout your life-time many times
Your heart beats
You breathe
You stride and
You blink…
… all numbered
according to absolute numbering.
Depressing, isn’t it?
Born into chaos
Heading towards nothingness
We are all in the same boat. Perhaps
Along your journey
You’ll be drawn to something to pursue
And what’s that
And how?
Be it fleeting or concrete
No guarantee for a full catch
Perhaps just for the sake of busying bustling and nothing more
Discouraging, isn’t it?
Of course not.
It’s not going to be too difficult or too easy
It’s neither just for yourself or purely for others
The grey cells of your ping-pong-size brain with grow as you grow.
And as you grow, slowly, bit and bit
And as you grow
Answers will arrive
Arriving on time in time in all fashions until nothingness dawns
And there you can be assure – a big bonus installed…
The scenery and landscapes along the way as you sojourn.
