青青之家
终于找到了个好中文论坛存放自己的作品。。。
刚加入nextdoor这个实名注册的邻里小区app, 前天浏览邻居们的post, 就发现了邻居Tamara 贴的这个求救口罩贴，底下不少邻居回帖告诉她哪哪有网购的，又有人七嘴八舌叫她stay home ! Don’t go anywhere! Tamara 说我马上要去court了这个是不得不出席的呀! 我马上跟贴说我可以送你10个口罩你住在森林湖吗？Tamara 回说我在呀！谢谢！
下午，我于是开着车送了十个口罩去给她，放在信封里并附上我的地址手机号，写上：stay healthy and stay save! 你的邻居特丽莎。
信封放门口按了门铃，俺退后几步保持安全social distance , 然后对开门的Tamara 解释说我因为是护士，故收到了不少好朋友捐赠我口罩，希望能帮助到你，有什么需要的话，我写了我手机地址的哈。
Tamara 马上在社区论坛nextdoor上说谢谢了特丽莎刚送来口罩了！
特意等在Tamara 门口让她看见我，并附上我的手机号地址，也是让Tamara 放心，看见了长得这么良民的我，又有地址又有手机号的， 是个负责任的她的真的邻居，而不是什么坏人，我送的口罩可以放心的戴哈！
下午宝拉发text找我聊天，我于是发这个故事图一至图五给她，问她对了你还需不需要口罩呢？
宝拉感慨了一番说你太好太慷慨了，谢谢你特丽莎，不过你送我的10个口罩我才用了2个还有，不用，我说不用谢，我身为护士，对社区的公共健康是有责任的，前日我就送了俩elderly 邻居一人10个口罩，老太太喜得说我save two lives!
宝拉说我问问然后告诉你亲爱的。然后感慨说我一月份二月份对冠病的意见全部都是对的！她承认，那个时候对covid19 完全不以为意，都三月中了， 还想着和她一个女友去参加万人音乐会呢，因为票子是女友买的反正免费啊， 不去白不去！幸好被我极力劝阻了！
Nextdoor是一个社区邻居的论坛app, 希望大家英文好的都多上这个邻居app去多关心关心老美邻居们，老美过惯了二战以来的舒适安全日子，不像我们老中懂得居安思危, 早早什么都囤好了啥也不缺！傻白甜老美邻居们就惨了， 如今是啥啥都缺！这个时候咱们一定要及时！主动！地向老美邻居们伸出援手，邻里互助帮助邻居们一把！在烈性传染病疫病前，我们和所有的邻居们，一个都不能倒！
图七是送Tamara 的口罩，
图九，是Nextdoor 上看到的，一位邻居特意在家门口黑板上写了这么一行来鼓励邻居们：Even the darkest night will end , and the sun will rise !
这是维克多雨果悲惨世界里最鼓舞人心的名句！quote by Victor Hugo.
我因此写给宝拉说： Let’s hang in there, till the vaccine comes out!
The vaccine is the light of the dark, together let’s hung in there, till the sun rise!
Epilogue
Alone I wait in the shadows
I count the hours until I sleep
I dreamed a dream Cosette st-stood by
It made her weep to know I die
Alone at the end of the day
Upon this wedding night I pray
Take these children my Lord to thy embrace
And show them grace
God on high
Hear my prayer
Take me now
To thy care
Where you are
Let me be
Take me now
Take me there
Bring me home
Bring me home
Monsieur, I bless your name
I am ready Fantine!
Monsieur, lay down your burden
At the end of my days
You've raised my child with love
She's the best of my life
And you will be with God
Papa, papa, I do not understand
Are you all right?
Why did you go away
Cosette, my child
Am I forgiven now?
Thank god, thank god
I've lived to see this day
It's you who must forgive a thoughtless fool
It's you who must forgive a thankless man
It's thanks to you that I am living
Again I lay down my life at your feet
Cosette, your father is a saint
When they wounded me
He took me from the barricade
Carried like a babe
And brought me home
To you
Now you are here
Again beside me
Now I can die in peace
For now my life is blessed
You will live
Papa, you're going to live
It's too soon, too soon to say goodbye!
Yes, Cosette, forbid me now to die
I'll obey
I will try
On this page
I write my last confession
Read it well
When I, at last, am sleeping
It's the story
Of one who turned from hating
The man who only learned to love
When you were in his keeping
Come with me
Where chains will never bind you
All your grief
At last, at last behind you
Lord in Heaven
Look down on him in mercy
Forgive me all my trespasses
And take me to your glory
Take my hand
I'll lead you to salvation
Take my love
For love is everlasting
And remember
The truth that once was spoken
To love another person
Is to see the face of God
Do you hear the people sing
Lost in the valley of the night?
It is the music of a people
Who are climbing to the light
For the wretched of the earth
There is a flame that never dies
Even the darkest night will end
And the sun will rise
They will live again in freedom
In the garden of the Lord
We will walk behind the ploughshare
We will put away the sword
The chain will be broken
And all men will have their reward
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing?
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing?
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes!
Aah!
Aah!
Aah!
Tomorrow comes!
