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.

守望中的媽媽

她總在那兒把我們守望，

我們晚歸會使她發慌，

冬天里守在窗前

夏日里靠在門前。

我們曾善意地將她嘲弄

這般呵護似乎超出正常

可漫長的歸途卻平添了安全

因為有她在殷切地翹望。

她心里盛下的卻是我們，

卻不曾有一刻的遺忘！

我欣然感到她的那番期待

無論她身處什么地方。

守望，一直到我們遠回到她身旁

若晚歸，會使她發慌，

守望，在天庭之窗，

佇立，在天庭的門廊。
