Living life over

如果有來生，我會少說多聽；如果有來生，我會請朋友到家裡吃飯；如果有來生，我會聽祖父嘮叨他的青年時代……，如果有來生，你會怎樣？

' p7 V4 b5 N9 L　　如果有來生，我會請朋友來家裡吃飯, 即使我家只有皺巴巴的地毯和褪了色的沙發;
　　
　　如果有來生，我會多聽聽祖父嘮叨他的青年時代……；
　　
　　如果有來生，我不會再堅持大熱天的開著車窗, 爾只為炫耀我梳理得油光可鑒的髮型;
　　
1 E3 |. X. F- X& }( y' r9 j" H　　如果有來生，我會選擇燃盡那根雕了玫瑰的紅蠟燭, 而不是任由它在儲藏室裡慢慢化掉;
  v: U5 R! @7 o, H　　
　　如果有來生，我會跟孩子們一起躺到草地上談心, 爾不去擔心褲子會弄髒;
　　
　　如果有來生，我會在真正的生活裡淚流滿面或是開懷大笑--而不是像現在一樣對著電視；
　　
! y+ J* J. q# ]　　如果有來生，我會在生病的時候選擇上床休息, 爾不是忙碌得好像一天沒有我地球就會停止轉動;
　　
　　如果有來生，我不會再去買那些只是看起來實用, 耐髒和保質期長的東西;
　　
　　如果真的還有來生的話，我會向更多的人說我愛你, 說更多的對不起...最重要的是, 只要給我一個來生, 我會緊緊抓住生命的每一分鐘...看著它, 真正去認識它...活出每一分鐘的精采...永不放過我所擁有的每一分鐘
