May you wishes all come true
May you always do for others And let others do for you May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung May you stay forever young Forever young, forever young May you stay forever young
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift May you have a strong foundation When the winds of changes shift May your heart always be joyful May your song always be sung May you stay forever young Forever young, forever young May you stay forever young
2008年,鲍勃·迪伦邀请保罗·罗杰斯把这首歌变成了绘本,《Forever Young》的歌词搭配着图画,一个励志而又动人的故事慢慢的叙述出来:
一个街头音乐节把一把吉他送给了小男孩
男孩学会了弹吉他,并且和自己的朋友们组成了自己的乐队。
他们一起旅行、聚会,拯救星球,阻止战争。
故事到结尾,小男孩成为了一个大人,又把吉他送给了另一个小女孩,希望她能带着初心,坚持正义,用于冒险。
这本绘本还被制作成了视频
说实话,当我读完整本绘本的时候,我真的非常感动,作为父母,我们对孩子的祝福其实就是这么的简单而朴素,希望他们
保持纯真,永远正直,善良、坚强、勇敢、开心,实现所有的梦想,心向光明
。
我想美好的品质都会在年轻的血液里流淌一样,当这个长大的小男孩把吉他送给小女孩的时候,也罢正直和勇敢的赤子之心,传承给了孩子,希望她能永远正直、善良、坚持真理,永远年轻。
第二个愿望:孩子,愿你永远不被束缚
If Dogs Run Free
《如果狗狗们自由奔跑》
这本书最主要的主题就是“Just do your thing”,讲述了一个离奇而欢乐的故事,里面超物种的友谊充满这纯真:一个小女孩和弟弟,带着他们的狗狗一起去冒险。

If dogs run free then why not we
Across the swooping plain
My ears hear a symphony
Of two mules trains and rain
The best is always yet to come
Thats what they explain to me
Just do your thing youll be king
If dogs run free
If dogs run free why not me
Across the swamp of time
My mind weaves a symphony
And tapestry of rhyme
Oh winds which rush my tale to thee
So it may flow and be
To each his own its all unknown
If dogs run free
If dogs run free then what must be
Must be and that is all
True love can make a blade of grass
Stand up straight and tall
In harmony with the cosmic sea
True love needs no company
It can cure the soul it can make it whole
If dogs run free
他们在田野和火车赛跑
他们在雨中奔跑
他们有越来越多的伙伴
他们在山坡打滚
他们一起溜冰
他们躺在山坡看上星座,与宇宙融为一体
最后回到家,妈妈微笑着欢迎他们回家。
就像书中写道的“如果狗狗们自由奔跑,我们为何不呼啸俯冲下平原?”,让我想到了鲍勃·迪伦不到20岁,就开始一个人到纽约追逐自己的音乐梦想,也想到他说过的话:
All I can do is be myself,
