上学了：写给孩子们开学的第一天

我们也有过那一天
背着书包去上学
心中充满好奇
虽然字写得歪歪

每一个孩子
都从这样的路上走过
脸蛋圆圆透着健康的红润
胸脯挺得高高我们每天长大一点点

不害羞的害羞的开朗的内向的
坐在明亮的课室里我们朝气蓬勃
愿每一个人都能得到老师的关注
愿每一颗小小的心都不要受伤害

老师是我们心中最美丽的人
老师是最动听的声音最权威的来源
老师啊你的责任太重太重
也许只有退休时你才知道老师的责任到底多重

孩子啊孩子
你上学了   天天走向小小的学堂
春去秋来你的梦不要消失
阳光灿烂让星星永远对你微笑

写这首小诗是受到这首英文诗的促动，发表在8月23号的当地报纸上。

It’s been 60-odd years since I was in the elementary grades, but I clearly remember those first school days in early autumn, when summer was suddenly over and we were all perched in our little desks facing into the future. Here Ron Koertge of Californiz gives us a glimpse of a day like that. (Written by Ted Kooser, U.S. Poet Laureate 2004-2006)

First Grade
      Until then, every forest
      had wolves in it, we thought
      it would be fun to wear snowshoes
     all the time, and we could talk to water

     So who is this woman with the gray
     breath calling out names and pointing
     to the little desks we will occupy 
     for the rest of our lives?

觉得这是一首很好的诗，很短，朴实得让人流泪。

这是Rosie走在去校巴站的照片，去年也有一张，就在下面，书包还是一样的

（记得好多博客朋友都喜欢这张照片的，草地还是这个草地，季节也是这个季节）

下图：早上6点一刻起来学着给家人做一顿花卷算是一个新开始

开学愉快！
