A Morning Wish

佚 名

The sun is just rising in the morning of another day.What can I wish that this day may bring me?Nothing that shall make the world or others poorer，nothing at the expense of other men;but just those few things which in their coming do not stop me but touch me rather,as they pass and gather strength.

I wish that this day could bring me a few friends， who understand me， and yet remain my friends;I also wish that this day could bring me a work to do which has real value.

I wish that this day could bring me a mind unafraid to travel，even though the trail be not blazed，and I wish that this day could bring me an understanding heart.

I wish that this day could bring me a sight of the eternal hills，and the blue sea stretching to the horizon，and of something beautiful which the hands of men have made.

I wish that this day could bring me a sense of humor， and the power to laugh， a little leisure with nothing to do.

And I crave for a few moments of quiet，silent meditation in the morning of this day.

朝阳又在新的一天中冉冉升起。我期许这一天带给我什么呢？我希望带给我的不是令世界或他人更贫穷的东西，不是损害别人的东西，而是那些微小的、能触动我的东西，它们经过时，或者不断聚集力量之时不会妨碍我。

我希望这一天能够带给我一些惺惺相惜的朋友，希望我们友谊长存；我也希望这一天能够给我带来一份真正有价值的工作。

我希望这一天能够带给我无畏远行的胸怀，即使旅途没有光亮的照耀；我还希望这一天能够带给我善解人意的心。

我希望这一天能够让我看到永恒的山冈，看到辽阔无边的蓝色海洋，看到人类的双手造就的美丽事物。

我希望这一天能够带给我幽默感，笑的力量和无事可做的片刻悠闲。

这一天的早上，我渴望片刻安静的沉思静想。
