COLORING PENCILS AND BOOK OF POEMS
我是小女儿 I am my little dauther's
书包里的 Box of coloring pencils
一盒彩笔 In a school bag.
她可以随意 She can draw at will
绘出 The scenery
心中想要的 Her heart desires
景致
小女儿是我 My little daughter is the
书台上的 Book of poems
一本诗集 On my writing desk.
读了千百遍 I have read a thousand times
发现 Only to discover
愈读愈有 There is a lot more
味 To savour.
