20170217 When you are old~珍惜愛我們的人

When You Are Old ──
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

想到葉慈的詩
When You Are Old 感觸良多
本週幾個晚上另一半都在中壢工作，
因白天早早出門上班沒時間多談，
晚上回家又累得不想多説，
趁著另一半在台北車站搭車的時間差，
到車站送他上車，短短時間只能在車站大廳走走，也沒説什麼要緊的事，
就是陪伴，也感念另一半在生活裏經營婚姻的用心。
不知迎接明天的是意外還是還是升起的太陽，所以珍惜我們珍惜的人，為他寫張卡片、發個訊息、買個小禮或是陪伴，讓對方知道被珍惜的心意，讓生活盈滿正向能量，
