  The Changed Man

by Robert Phillips

 

If you were to hear me imitating Pavarotti
in the shower every morning, you'd know
how much you have changed my life.

If you were to see me stride across the park,
waving to strangers, then you would know
I am a changed man—like Scrooge

awakened from his bad dreams feeling feather-
light, angel-happy, laughing the father
of a long line of bright laughs—

"It is still not too late to change my life!"
It is changed. Me, who felt short-changed.
Because of you I no longer hate my body.

Because of you I buy new clothes.
Because of you I'm a warrior of joy.
Because of you and me. Drop by

this Saturday morning and discover me
fiercely pulling weeds gladly, dedicated
as a born-again gardener.

Drop by on Sunday—I'll Turtlewax
your sky-blue sports car, no sweat. I'll greet
enemies with a handshake, forgive debtors

with a papal largesse. It's all because
of you. Because of you and me,
I've become one changed man.

帅呆了那是自然。但是这次更多的时间不是在流口水,是哭!!!

唉,改天再细说。老公比我哭得还厉害,当了爹以后第一次看电影,原来是出名的看电影从不掉泪的,今天让我大开眼界啊。

本来以为比较偏comedy呢,结果抽泣了两个多小时,真不好意思啊啊啊啊。
