Най-сърдечни поздрави за Коледа и Нова Година на всички любители на влакчета. Това е едно прекрасно стихотворение на английски, но нямам поетично дарование да ви го преведа. Надявам се ще го разберете
Train Journey
Life is like a journey on a train...
with its stations...
with changes of routes...
and with accidents!
At birth we boarded the train and met our parents,
and we believe they will always travel on our side.
However, at some station
our parents will step down from the train,
leaving us on this journey alone.
As time goes by, other people will board the train;
and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children,
and even the love of our life.
Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum.
Others will go so unnoticed that we don't realize
that they vacated their seats!
This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow,
fantasy, expectations, hellos, good-byes, and farewells.
Success consists of having a good relationship
with all passengers...
requiring that we give the best of ourselves.
The mystery to everyone is:
We do not know at which station
we ourselves will step down.
So, we must live in the best way - love, forgive,
and offer the best of who we are.
It is important to do this because when the
time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty...
we should leave behind beautiful memories
for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.
Have a very pleasant journey!
p.s. Apologies if I was an irritable/irritating travelling companion!
