爱的眼镜

Beep! Beep! Beep！

铃铃铃！

My arm swung over to my dresser

我扬起胳膊，伸向穿衣柜

and grabbed the alarm clock that had awakened me.

I shut it off

and pulled it to my face

to see the hands pointing to 6 O’clock.

Slowly I reached over

and put it back down.

I threw my covers off

Something seemed off, though.

The world around me looked both blurry and scary.

I rubbed my eyes

thinking something was wrong with them.

Then I realized what it was.

随后我边意识到了问题所在

I hadn’t put my glasses on yet.

原来是因为我没有戴眼镜

I wish I could say that this was the first time this has happened,

我真希望自己可以说，这是我第一次遇到这种问题

but it isn’t.

Too often in this life

I have rushed through my day,

deprived myself of sleep at night,

that wasn’t working quite right.

Still, I can laugh at times like this

and use my forgotten glasses as a reminder

to take better care of myself.

There is another set of glasses, however,

that I try never to forget.

no matter how tired my mind and body are.

when you see through the eyes of love

today, tomorrow and forever.
