母親節的前一晚，睡前莎拉隨手從圖書館借書回來的書袋中挑了一本英文繪本。
因為每次去天母圖書館借書時也沒特別仔細挑選（因為英文書實在太多太多了），媽咪我翻開第
一頁，沒想太多的就直接開始念起來，莎拉則安靜的躺在旁邊聽。
開始念了不久候，簡短的文字配上插圖，媽咪開始想到姥姥，心裡有些酸，但想到我是在念繪本
嘛！也沒在情緒裡停留太久，就繼續念。莎拉當中問了一個小問題，我也就解釋給她聽。
沒想到，唸完後，我轉頭看到莎拉的表情不太對，眼眶有些紅紅的，她有心事時，就會是這種表
情，但我一時實在沒法猜透，到底她怎麼了？難道是跟繪本有關
就在我多解釋了幾句有關孩子長大的事情後。但突然我心想，敏感又細膩的莎拉，應該是心裡感
動，加上想到長大會跟媽咪分開而悲傷或害怕、擔心起來吧！
我溫柔的同理說了幾句話，這個小女生開始大哭起來，看著媽咪我也好難過，好捨不得，眼淚也
一直流，我說我的眼淚是好感動，很愛莎拉，想說告訴她媽咪的心情也是，卻也更引發她更多的
情緒湧出。
就這樣，母女相湧的哭著，我不斷的安慰她，我們永遠都不會分開，但話雖如此，更加讓人辛酸
不是嗎？孩子終有一天，會離家離開父母，但多也只有在自己為人父母後，才更懂得父母的愛。

Someday by Alison McGhee
One day I counted your fingers and kissed each one.
One day the first snowflakes fell, and I held you up ad watched them
melt on your baby skin.
One day we crossed the street, and you held my hand tight.
Then, you were my baby, and now your are my child.
Sometimes, when you sleep, I watch you dream, and I dream too....
That someday you will dive into the cool, clear water of a lake.
Someday you will walk into a deep wood.
Someday your eyes will be filled with a joy so deep that they shine.
Someday you will run so fast and so far your heart will feel like
fire
Someday you will swing high-so high, higher than you ever dare to
swing.
Someday you will hear something so sad that you will fold up with
sorrow.
Someday you will call a song to the wind, and the wind will carry
your song away.
Someday I will stand on this porch and watch your arms waving to me
until I no longer see you.
Someday you will look at this house and wonder how something that
feels so big can look so small.
Someday you will feel a small weight against your strong back.
Someday I will watch you brushing your child's hair.
Someday, a long time from now, your own hair will glow silver in the
sun.
And when that day comes, love, you will remember me.
