英国93岁老人为去世的老伴写诗(4)

　　附：

　　写给Kath的诗

　　我知道现在我已是孤身一人，但还记得当年我们一起的时光

　　那时我们还能一起聊天，做些这样那样的小事

　　我们一起去商店，一起买菜

　　但现在我却要一个人做饭，或是坐在轮椅上

　　房间空空荡荡，十分安静

　　有时候我不知所措，就在屋子里瞎逛

　　看看有什么我能做的事情，让时光倒回我们一起时的模样

　　当夜晚来临拉上窗帘，此时的我最孤单绝望

　　但我必须要承认，我还能看到一丝希望

　　因为在我身边她的椅子上，她还在等着我到天堂

　　Kath从前对我说，亲爱的我们什么时候能一起飞翔

　　让我们把骨灰混在一块，这样就能永世不相忘

　　原文：

　　ODE TO KATH BY BOB LOWE

　　I am alone, now I know it's true

　　There was a time when we were two

　　Those were the days when we would chat

　　Doing little jobs of this and that

　　We'd go to the shops and select our meals

　　But now I'm one I know how it feels

　　To try and cook or have meals on wheels

　　The rooms are empty there's not a sound

　　Sometimes I'm lost and wander round

　　To look for jobs that I can do

　　To bring back the days when we were two

　　When darkness falls and curtains drawn

　　That's when I feel most forlorn

　　But I must be honest and tell the truth

　　I'm not quite alone and here's the proof

　　Because beside me in her chair

　　She quietly waits our time to share

　　Kath said to me some time ago

　　Darling when the time comes for us to go

　　Let's mix our ashes and be together

　　So we can snuggle up for ever and ever.
