沙上足印有人說，人生不過是獨自走過沙灘，留下一行腳印，潮水一漲，腳印便被漫過沙灘的海浪抹去，回頭看著來時路，發現身後什麼也沒有留下。我欣賞他的豁達，因為自己也是個隨緣的人，要來的自然會來，要走的始終會走，緣起緣滅，沒有什麼值得緊抓不放。但是人生走過一段後，回首一望，曾經有過的痛與樂、悲與喜，是否真的不屑一顧，再也不用記起？
我的人生，並非獨自走過沙灘，而是一群人一起走，當中有我的家人，也有我的朋友。有的在中途加入，有的在中途揮手道別，也許到了最後，只剩下我一個獨行，但我珍惜路上有幸同行的每一個人，不管是喜是悲，總是緣份，海浪湧過沙灘之前，足印已留在心間。
也許當我年紀老去時，記憶流逝，最終也會如被海浪抹去的沙上足印，但這又有什麼要緊呢，朋友，在這刻到來之前，不論天涯海角，你常在我心間。
Footprints on the Sand
I was told once, "Life is nothing but footprints on the sand while walking alone on a beach. When the tide comes in, they will be washed out by the wave. Looking back at the path which you have just stepped on, there is no trace left." I appreciate the thought of being able to let go of the past, since I am also a man who take what fortune brings. What must happen will happen, and what should go will go. Nothing is worth clinging to so firmly. However, when I grow older and have a look back to the past, should all the joys and sorrows of life be forgotten and never be brought to mind?
My life is not a lonely walk across the beach but a journey with my family and friends. Some join in the middle of the journey and some part before the journey ends. Perhaps eventually I will be walking alone at the end, but I treasure everyone who I have the luck to walk with through live, no matter it is a happy or sad one. Before the footprints are washed out by the wave, I had them imprinted on my heart.
Maybe when I grow old, my memories will eventually fade away like the footprints washed out by the wave. But does that matter ? For I only know, before that moment comes, friends, no matter where you are, you are always on my mind.
