目送 SEEING OFF
ㄧ輩子要目送垂垂老矣的父親背影，不知有多少回。嚴父有著慈母的心，
總是牽掛著他認為還是小孩的我，縱使已經娶妻生女，自己也已經為人父，
但在他眼裡我總是個長不大的孩子，仍需在他呵護下，他才會放下心。
望著他關心離去的背影，不是朱自清筆下父親辛苦爬下月台，
再舉步維艱邁上月台台階的模樣，也不是蹲下撿拾掉落滿地橘子的痀僂身影。
是壹台陪伴他近半世紀的破腳踏車，載滿了他的關懷離去返家後，
沉重的往復踏板的鏕鏕聲，映著前僂的身軀，是目送的父親。
Firmly, do I can't count how many times I see off the vertebra of my aging father's
silhouette in the whole life ? He, stern father with benevolent heart, is always
solicituded with me who he is still deemed as a child. Although I have married,
ever had a daughter, and as a father as him but I am still like a child in his
inner heart. It seems I must have under his defence that it will give him some
kind of feeling relief. Watching the disappearing back melting-image of my
father when he came to care for me then leaving for home.
最後ㄧ次目送的父親，再也聽不到熟悉的鏕鏕聲，也聽不到嘮叨的叮嚀聲，
卻是寂靜的可以；艷紅的爐火，飄送出目送父親的最後ㄧ股熱風。
是的，有些路是要孤獨的一個人走的，再ㄧ次目送父親時，
卻已經是人生智慧與ㄧ生勞苦的灰燼。
The last time seeing my father off that is some kind of dread silenct
without this kind of bicycle's treadles crackling and whisper ardening of exhort.
The flamboyant fire of incinerator is exhaling the last breezzing warm wind to
see my dear father off. Yes! There is a lonely road that you must go alone.
To see my dear father off again but it was the cremains of intellecture
wisdom of whole life and suffering of his lifetime.
