雪花 - 洪琛
雪很漂亮,雪花更漂亮。
雪花像雲,千變萬化。
有圓的,有尖的,
有各式各樣的雪花。
我喜歡下雪,
我更喜歡下雪花!
我跟洪琛說:「你首詩寫得唔錯,但你可能唔知道,雪同雪花其實係同一樣野。」他說:「咩呀,雪係一舊舊,雪花係一粒粒,好似六角形咁。」我想像他說的是這款雪花:*
早前他看了一本類似漫畫書的「黑貓白貓」後,曾去信作者,內容大致是:「你好,我是第一次寫信給你的,希望你能登出我的信件……不知道可否加插些笑話……希望你可以解答我的問題」之類。看著他的信件,突然覺得自己與這兒子有一些距離。他好像在找一些東西,那些東西是父母不能給他的。同時我又覺得自己的兒子有些可憐兮兮,用那麼真摯及純真的感情,投向一位陌生人身上,並期望得著回報。
自從有了小朋友後,有些場景會令我感到好像明白天父的心意多一些。這次我想到,當天父看到我們將心思及時間去追求一些不實際的事時,祂可能同樣覺得我們可憐兮兮,因祂知道唯有祂的愛才能令我們感到真正滿足。令我想起「浪子回頭」的故事。
以上可能是自己想多了,但自從洪琛寄出那封信後,即時的效果是,他要求至少連續買多兩期「黑貓白貓」(成廿蚊本!),看看有否刊登他的信件。所以,我開始懷疑,那些甚麼歡迎投稿的手法,是吸引「細路哥」買多幾本雜誌的商業技倆!
無論如何,我情願他寫多些「雪花」,好過寫信比不認識的人!

Hello Ching,
Amazing that your kid has such a good observation of snow! His poem is pretty good indeed.
Since our culture of differentiation of snow is not much related to live and death, the word "SNOW" to Inuit/Eskimo are really different if you look further in details.

Hung Sam makes us think about that any other observation we missed at all on our daily live or God's wish ? Are we learning from kids or Kids are learning from us?
Hung Sam's creative thinking is much more than 40buds!

Hi Ken,
I agree that there are so many things that we can learn from kids. Actually, my son always led me to the Lord, of course he didn't know that.

Hey, we better learn to let go. I am encouraging myself as well. When Hung Sum grows up and starts to have dating, he has to get along with a girl that is totally a stranger to him. It's better for him to learn how to deal with unresponsive or unpleasant encounters at his young age, lest he can learnt to be "smart" in handling human relationship. Of course, we as parents feel the "pain" of letting such a little child to face the uncertainties.
