夢里相逢幻似真。

儀容依舊後生人。

睽違半世無緣聚，

浪跡天涯乏善陳。

日月如梭斑鬢發，

肌膚起皺歷風塵。

驚聞噩耗傷長別，

腦海留存竹馬親。

Memory

I dreamt of meeting you again.
It seemed so real in the dream.
You still looked the same
as when you were young.
We had never gotten a chance
to meet again over half of our life span.
I wandered far away and did not
have many good things to tell you.
The time has passed so fast,
and I now have a lot of gray hair.
My wrinkles have shown
the toll of dust and wind.
Suddenly I have heard that
you have passed away for sure.
All I can visualize is a playful image
of you, riding on a bamboo hobbyhorse.
