Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again

Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again --- by Xu Zhimo


Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.

The golden willows by the riverside
Are young brides in the setting sun;
Their reflections on the shimmering waves
Always linger in the depth of my heart.

The floating heart growing in the sludge
Sways leisurely under the water;
In the gentle waves of Cambridge
I would be a water plant!

That pool under the shade of elm trees
Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;
Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds
Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?

To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream
To where the green grass is more verdant;
Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight
And sing aloud in the splendor of starlight.

But I cannot sing aloud
Quietness is my farewell music;
Even summer insects heap silence for me
Silent is Cambridge tonight!

Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Gently I flick my sleeves
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away

Priceless card!

Here are two cards I got from work.

This one is from a patient:

Thank you for everything!! God bless...

I just can't thank you enough form all you've done.
You were there with a helping hand just when I needed it most...
Ready to pitch in and do whatever you could.
You gave me something very special-
your time-
and I'll always remember you for it.

The other one is from my manager:

Wishing you a very happy birthday!
I feel so blessed to have you on our team-
You are an excellent nurse and a very beautiful person.

Have a great birthday!
