My Life
My life's like a cup of coffee.
It is black and bitter,
But sometimes with sugar of love,
And sometimes with cream of fun.
My life's like a bottle of wine.
It is claret and sweet,
But if I enjoy it too much at a time,
I will finish the bottle sooner.
My life's like a bowl of ice-cream.
It is cold and sweet,
But if I don't eat it quick,
It will melt into a mess.
My life's like a speeding boat.
It skims away so swift.
What's left in its wake?
Foams and fading ripples.
My life's like a dumb firecracker.
It goes off without a sound
And has nothing like a noise to make
In this wide ambitious world.

我的生活
海外逸士
我的生活就像一杯咖啡
黑而苦涩
有时会带一点爱的甜味
有时会带一些奶油的芳香
我的生活就像一瓶干红
暗红又甘甜
如果每次我享它太多
很快我将饮完
我的生活就像一碗冰淇淋
清凉而甘甜
如果我不迅速吃下
它将变的混乱
我的生活就像一只快船
飞快的掠过
在它的踪迹里遗弃了什么?
泡沫和渐逝的涟漪
我的生活就像一个哑炮
悄无声响地消失
没有丝毫地喧哗
在这个茫茫
而又雄心勃勃的世界里
