translation....

Due to overwhelming requests, (heheeee..)decided to do a translation of the chinese essay from my previous post. it may not be 100% accurate...but i will try lor....

<> ---- Letter for child

When i become old and no longer the usual self,
please be understanding and be patience towards me.

When i accidentally spilled soup onto my clothings,
when i forget how to tie shoelaces,
please remeber how i used to teach you the way to do it, step by step.

When i keep repeating what i said over and over again,
please be patient, do not interrupt me.
Remeber when you were young, i used to repeat stories for you during your bedtime, till you enter into dreamland.

When i need help in shower, please do not scold me.
Remember the time when i used to hoax you to bathe when you were young?

When i'm clueless towards technology, please do not mock at me.
Remeber the time when you kept asking me "whys".

When i'm no longer strong enough to walk on my own,
please guide my steps with your strong hands.
Just like how i guided you when you took your first steps.

When i lose track of what our discussion will be, please give me time to recall.
To me, its not what we discussing, but more importanly, you are there to listen to me.

When the see me aged, please do not feel sad for me.
Understand me, Support me, just like what i did for you when you started learning.

I used to be the one who guided you the correct path of life,
but now, please guide me through till the end of my journey.
Give me your love and understanding, and i will be grateful to you.
