今天一個台灣同事說笑話，說他們大學聯考中，有個填充題是“英雄寶刀不老”，有才的小同學對下聯：“老娘風韻猶存”。真是對仗工整。
好像以前看過類似的笑話，不過今天還是把我笑得不行。
前不久從別人的博客“借”（或者是偷）了個《20,30,40》的主意，想自戀一下我的小半生；後來又蘊釀著未雨綢繆地做篇文章來《優雅地老去》。今天想，不如直白點，來個《英雄寶刀不老，老娘風韻猶存》，自我宣言一下得了。
不過，真要這麽叉著腰自稱老娘，我還是自己把自己嚇了一跳。一轉身，還是變回了文學老青年，和大家分享一首小詩，確切地說是寫在生日卡上的口水詩。
我這個阿Q常常念叨著這幾句話，珍視我的joys, efforts, dreams，渡過我的heartaches, tears, failures……
Life can’t be counted in candles,
It counted in small joys and good times and laugh lines,
as well as in heartaches and tears.
Life can’t be counted in candles,
but in things done with effort and pride…with dreams followed boldly,
and hopes kept alive…in times when we’ve failed but tried.
Life can’t be counted in candles or measured in years that have flown…
It counted in kindnesses, close friends, and loved ones,
and in all the sweet blessings we’ve known.
關於年齡、關於老去；關於優雅、關於風韻－咱們下次再聊。
