编者语：父母常常会有时光转瞬即逝的感觉，尤其是当看着自己的孩子熟睡的侧脸，仿佛上一秒他还在自己的怀里呢喃，下一刻却就要离家远航。而总有一天，他也会如自己这般，深情地凝望着自己孩子的睡脸，也许到那一天，他终将懂得此刻你的心情。一本诗一样的绘本《有一天》，送给所有的孩子和父母。

One day I counted your fingers and kissed each one.

曾经，我轻吻着你的每根小指头。

One day the first snowflakes fell, and I held you up and watched them melt on your baby skin.

曾经，在某个清朗的冬日，我把你高高举起，看着雪花飘落在你红润的小脸。

One day，we crossed the street，and your held my hand tight.

曾经，你的小手紧抓着我，一同穿越都市的车水马龙。

Then, you were my baby, and now you are my child.

曾经，你是我的小宝宝，现在你是我的大宝贝。

Sometimes, when you sleep, I watch your dream, and I dream too......

有时，望着沉睡的你，我也跟着梦想……

That someday you will dive into the cool, clear water of a lake.

有一天，你会潜入冷冽清澈的湖。

Someday you will walk into a deep wood.

独自走进一座苍郁的森林。

Someday your eyes will be filled with a joy so deep that they shine.

初见新奇，眼中满是光彩。

Someday you will run so fast and so far your heart will feel like fire.

有一天，你会为了心中的渴求，像团火球似的疯狂追逐。

Someday you will swing high so high, higher than you ever dared to swing.

有一天，你会发现自己竟然荡的比想象的还高。

Someday you will hear something so sad that you will fold up with sorrow.

有一天，你会因为突如其来的坏消息，感觉被深深的哀伤包围。

Someday you will call a song to the wind, and the wind will carry your song away.

有一天，你会站在风中浅唱，期盼风儿把你的心声带向远方。

Someday I will stand on this porch and watch your arms waving to me until I no longer see you.

有一天，我会倚在门边，望着你向我挥手道别，消失在我眼前。

Someday you will look at this house and wonder how something that feels so big can look so small.

有一天，你会心想：为什么以前觉得好大的地方，现在看起来这么小。

Someday you will feel a small weight against your strong back.

有一天，你会发现，自己坚强的双臂也有着一个小小负担。

Someday I will watch you brushing your child's hair.

有一天，我会看见你坐在床沿，梳理孩子柔细的发丝。

Someday, along time from now, your own hair will glow silver in the sun.

有一天，很久很久以后的一天，你的头发也会在太阳底下闪着银光。

And when that day comes, love, you will remember me.

当那天到来的时候，亲爱的，你会想念我。（完）
