Life...What is it?
See it in the colors of autumn,
A gentle snowfall in winter,
A sudden shower in spring,
The radiance of a summer day.
Behold it in the laughter Of the young and the old.
Know of it in a surge of hope,
The blessings that are bountiful.
What is life?
It is joy,awareness,
And the music within.
生命是什么？
它浸染在五彩缤纷的秋色里，
飘融在轻柔无语的冬雪中，
在阵阵春雨里，
在绚丽夏日中。
它包含在老人爽朗的笑声里，
也隐匿在孩子们天真的嬉戏中。
它汹涌在人们的希望里，
它荡漾在美好的祝福中，
生命是什么？
是欢乐，是领悟，
是心灵深处的音乐。
