「犬の十戒」 ( 2009/11/08 )
Animal protectionLove ともに生きる仲間たちへ・・・殺伐とした、命が軽んじられている昨今。
動物に対しても、人間に対しても「愛」を感じて欲しいです。
相手を思いやる気持ちを感じられたら良いな、と思います。
犬の立場から飼主にしてほしいと願う事柄を列挙した作者不詳の短篇詩「犬の十戒」Give me time to understand what you want of me.
Place your trust in me. It's crucial to my well-being.
Be aware that however you treat me I'll never forget it.
Before you scold me for being lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me.
Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when it's speaking to me.
Remember before you hit me, I have teeth that could hurt you, but that I choose not to bite you.
Take care of me when I get old.
My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be painful for me.
You have your work, your entertainment, and your friends. I have only you.
Go with me on difficult journeys. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember I love you . . .何度読んでも目が潤んでしまうのはわたしだけなのでしょうか？
この詩をヒントに生まれたのが「犬と私の10の約束」という物語だそうです。
「犬と私の10の約束」は「命」の大切さを感じられる作品だったと思います。 | |
