許其正：第二次──給外孫女若妍的童詩(7)

平常誰抱，妳都好

今天卻那麼黏媽媽

一離開媽媽就哭就鬧

這到底為的什麼？

「原來是媽媽給她斷奶

一歲又近兩個月了

斷奶沒什麼不對呀！」

「初生時醫生為她斷臍

是她第一次哭

因為日夜形影相隨的人離開；

斷奶她會認為是第二次

所以一離開媽媽就哭就鬧

這沒什麼好奇怪的

小孩子雖然不會用講話表示

但是她的心靈是很[敏感的

她害怕失去最親近的人呀！」

啊，原來是這樣！

小小的心靈就有這感應

我的淚遂在心海裡

波濤洶湧……

The Second Time　 Hsu ChiCheng

Usually you are glad to be embraced by anyone

However, you keep worrying your mum today

You will cry if you cannot see mum even a moment

Why is it? Why?

“So her mum has decided to wean her

For a baby of one year and two months

weaning means nothing”

“She cried the first time

When the midwife out off her umbilical cord

Because it bound her and her mum closely together;

This is the second time

She cries because of weaning

There is no wonder

A baby is unable to express the feeling with words.

She is very sensitive

She is afraid to loss her most beloved one!”

O, so that’s how it is!

A little baby can feel so

The waves of teardrops

Surging in the sea of my heart… @
