We should have won…
If Jack had scored that goal,
If we’d had just a few more minutes,
If we had trained harder,
If Ben had passed the ball to Joe,
If we’d had thousands of fans screaming,
If I hadn’t taken my eye off the ball,
If we hadn’t stayed up so late the night before,
If we hadn’t take it easy,
If we hadn’t run out of energy.
We should have won…
If we’d been better!

望夫石望夫处,江悠悠.化为石,不回头.山头日日风复雨,行人归来石应语.
Where she awaits her husband
On and on the river flows.
Never looking back,
Transformed into stone.
Day by day upon the mountain top,
Wind and rain revolve.
Should the journeyer return,
This stone would utter speech
A SPRING MORNINGI awake light-hearted this morning of spring,Everywhere round me the singing of birdsBut now I remember the night, the storm,And I wonder how many blossoms were broke
n.(by Meng Haoran)
春晓春眠不觉晓,处处闻啼鸟.夜来风雨声,花落知多少.
The Willow The slender tree is dressed in emerald all about,A thousand branches droop like fringes made of jade.But do you know by whom these slim leaves are cut out?The wind of early spring is sharp as scissor blade.
By Meng Haoran 咏柳 碧玉妆成一树高 , 万条垂下绿丝绦不知细叶谁裁出 , 二月春风似剪刀
