清明掃墓祭祖

慎終追遠、緬懷祖先

今天清明掃墓，分二處先祖墓地祭拜

弟弟仁昌單獨前往，龍潭茶園內先祖阿琚婆墓地

我則隨同母親前往翁元乾嘗祖塔祭拜

墓地位處龍潭小人國邊高陽南路茶園邊

一年一度清明節，祖塔會開放塔門，讓後代子孫入內緬懷先祖

此行，最主要目的是入塔內祭拜先父

告知在天之靈，家中一年的近況

先從母親的健康、生活情形開始

繼而仁興（我）、莫華、莫愁、莫萍、世慧、仁昌，由年紀大小排序

儘可能的告知，各家人目前的生活近況

讓他了解，一年來大家都平安無事，生活快樂

也祈求父親做神做仙後，給予後代子孫福、祿、壽的庇蔭

但因怕母親觸景生情、過度傷心，獨留她於塔外祭拜。

樹欲靜而風不止，子欲養而親不待

與其身後隆重追思，不如生前用心對待

也訓勉後輩小孩，多用心關懷周邊的親人

Bette Midler - From a Distance (Wish Father Is Watching Us)

From a distance

The world looks blue and green

And the snow capped mountains white

From a distance

The ocean meets the stream

And the eagle takes to flight

From a distance

There is harmony

And it echoes through the land

Its the voice of hope

Its the voice of peace

Its the voice of every man

From a distance

We all have enough

And no one is in need

And there are no guns, no bombs and no disease

No hungry mouths to feed

From a Distance

We are instruments

Marching in a common band

Playing songs of hope

Playing songs of peace

They are the songs of every man

God is watching us

From a distance

You look like my friend

Even though we are at war

From a distance

I just cannot comprehend

What all this fightings for

From a distance

There is harmony

And it echoes through the land

And its the hope of hopes

Its the love of loves

Its the heart of every man

God is watching us

From a distance
