如果有来生，我会抓住每一秒

如果有来生，我会少说，多听；我会请朋友来家里吃饭，即使把地毯弄脏；如果有来生，我会点燃那支雕成玫瑰状的蜡烛，不让它在尘封中融化；我会与孩子们坐在草地上，不去担心草地上的污渍……如果有来生，我会说更多的“我爱你”……“对不起”……然而，最重要的是，如果有来生，我会抓住每一秒……看人生，读人生……体验人生……再也不放手。

If I had my life to live over...I wouldhave talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinnereven if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded.

I would have taken the time to listen to mygrandfather ramble about his youth.

I would never have insisted the car windowsbe rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have burned the pink candlesculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have sat on the lawn with mychildren and not worried about grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less whilewatching television - and more while watching life.

I would have gone to bed when I was sickinstead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I were notthere for the day.

I would never have bought anything justbecause it was practical, would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

There would have been more "I loveyous" ... more "I'm sorrys"... but mostly, given another shotsat life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it...liveit...and never give it back.
