分享小詩：Whose Child Is This?

娃今年八月份開始上Pre-K，一周去三次，每次大概三個小時。他現在管上Pre-K的小學叫"Big School"，管他的day care叫"Small School"。他很願意去學校，因為每次都是去那裏"play"，好高興的。

昨天在他的"Big School" folder裏發現了一張家長會的通知，上麵還有一首小詩，很有意思的，和大家分享下：

Whose Child Is This?

- Author Unknown

'Whose Child Is This?' I asked one day

Seeing a little one out at play

'Mine', said the parent with a tender smile

'Mine to keep a little while

To bathe his/her hands and comb his/her hair

To tell him/her what he/she is to wear

To prepare him/her that he/her may always be good

And each day do the things he/she should'

 

'Whose Child Is This?' I asked again

As the door opened and someone came in

'Mine', said the teacher with the same tender smile

'Mine, to keep just for a little while

To teach him/her how to be gentle and kind

To train and direct his/her dear little mind

To help him/her live by every rule

And get the best he/she can from school'

 

'Whose Child Is This?' I ask once more (note: 我覺得這裏應該是asked，可能是typo)

Just as the little one entered the door

'Ours' said the parent and the teacher as they smiled

And each took the hand of the little child

'Ours to love and train together

Ours this blessed task forever.'

要下班了，晚上再接著寫感受吧。嗬嗬。
