談敬老
On Honoring the Elders

蔡傑至/文 十二歲 by Richard Tsai age 12

欲知恭敬長輩法,
從小必須學禮儀。
車上必須行讓座,
看見長輩要敬禮,
談到長輩勿呼名,
勿笑長輩老無力。
應加稱讚老人心,
勿因年老而所欺,
上下樓梯應扶攜。
勿有恨腸咒罵心。
勿令老人心虛寂。
老萊子是好例子,
特別領導少年心。
年老智慧經驗多,
廣問增廣見聞好。
應帶老人去散心。
晚輩應讀弟子規,
讀後更須勤實行。
若是讀了而未行,
待到老大徒傷悲。
敬老節是禮儀節,
特別領導少年心。

To know the way of honoring the elders
We must learn etiquette when young.
On buses let them have seats first
Seeing them we should greet them.
But don’t call them by their names.
We don’t jeer at their infirmity.
We should praise their warmth and sincerity
and not take advantage of them because they are aged.
Assist them when they go up or down the stairs.
We hold no malice or damnation.
Let not their hearts ever be lonely.
The Elder Lai Zi was a good example
Extremely good at leading the youth.
Elders are full of wisdom and well-experienced.
It is wonderful that they broaden our views and insights.
We should tske them for a pleasant stroll.
As youths we should study the Standards for Students
And follow with diligent and actual practice.
If we study but don’t practice
we will regret it when we are older.
Elders’ Day is a day of courtesy
An extremely good way to guide the youth.
