然后風箏就越飛越遠,你知道沒有多久,這個美麗的小家伙就會掙脫你綁在他身上的束縛,盡情翱翔在天空,自由自在。
那時,你就知道了,你已經完成你所應該做的事了。
Children Are Like Kites
You spend years trying to get them off the ground.
You run with them until you're both breathless.
They crash.
They hit the rooftop.
You patch comfort, and sure that someday they would fly
Finally they are airborne...
They need more string and you keep letting it out.
They talk and the each twist of the twine
there is a sadness that goes with joy.
The kite becomes more distant,
and you know it won't be long before that beautiful creature will snap the lifeline that binds you two together
and will soar as it is meant to soar, free and alone.
Only then do you know that you did your job.
