A Poem for Dad ... 

Dedicated to 100th commemoration of my father on February 18th. 

給阿爸的一首詩

在阿爸100歲冥誕的2月18日

Dad ...

I'd ever been disappointed with you

I felt so sad at being abandoned by you

I used to get angry because I felt neglected

阿爸…

阮曾經對您失望

感覺被您放捨而悲傷

感覺被您忽視而生氣

But also …

There's a sense of longing very highly of you

There is so much affection for you

可是

阮想念您總是化作這樣的渴望

就是這麼多親近的思念

When this life feels tremendously heavy burden

I miss your arm, dad

Just to put my head down and cry on your lap

And lamenting ... " I'm so weary, dad " ...

當生活的負擔是如此的沉重

阿爸，您的手股在那

可以讓阮趴在您的懷裡放聲大哭

向您撒嬌…"阿爸，阮好累了"

I really want to see how you walk

The way you laugh

The way you eat

Even when you’re angry

阮真想要看您走路的模樣

看您笑

看您吃物件

您那生氣嘛無關係

I want to hug you when you're sad

Console you when you faced moments before execution

Hold your hand when you're scared

阮想要把您抱緊緊

在您悲傷的時陣

想要安慰您

在您面對被執刑的近前

想要牽您的手

在您驚嚇的那一時

And now ...

After knowing your sacrifice

I understand …

I am proud …

I worship you

可是，這時陣

阮已經知影您的犧牲

阮會瞭解…

阮感到驕傲…

阮崇拜您

I pray for dad

Wishing you happiness there in heaven 

Keeping me safe from there ...

阮為阿爸您祈禱

希望在天堂的您快樂

保庇阮平安無代誌

I love you dad ... 

阿爸，阮愛您…
