The Miss of Love
Wherever you are I'll always be here waiting for the day we can once meet again.
The miss of a lost love can darken the soul. Wishing to see her in the moonlight or day can cause pain and it does in my heart. Her walk was of a God and her eyes were of the dove(鴿子). Lost am I in this world without her. Her touch her sound the kiss of forever and the words that came to be.
She died in my arms, and the pain will never go away. Some nights I cry praying for her to be here, but only alone I come to be. If only(要是…多好) someone knew how the pain burns like fire slowly burning the heart. Tears are the only memory of her and her smile.
No cure could be found and it was only up to God's time. So many things I still wanted to say to her and so much to do with so little time. Like to take a walk through a park and hold hands as the birds fly free with the wind or to make love on a beach as the waves crash to the shore. She was my true love and to see her go away kills my soul.
I did all I could to make her time happy, we talked about memories and stories, went to the tree outside our house were I asked her to marry me, but most of the time I just watched her get sicker and sicker and on the day of her death I blew out the candle of our dreams never to light it again.
Wherever you are I'll always be here waiting for the day we can once meet again. For when the day comes tears of the past will be gone and tears of the future will lead the way.

Shining light in dark corners
"Dr.Papaderos, what is the meaning of life?"
The usual laughter followed, and people stirred(激起，惹起) to go.
Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was.
"I will answer your question."
Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket, he fished into a leather billfold(皮夾子)and brought out a very small round mirror, about the size of a quarter.
And what he said went like this:
"When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village. One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirror. A German motorcycle had been wrecked(失事) in that place.
"I tried to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece. This one, and, by scratching(擦傷，刮痕) it on a stone, I made it round. I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine---in deep holes and crevices(裂縫) and dark closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find.
"I kept the little mirror, and, as I went about(四處走動(dòng)) my growing up, I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game. As I became a man, I grew to understand that this was not just a child's game but a metaphor(比喻，暗喻) for what I might do with my life. I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light. But light---truth, understanding, knowledge---is there, and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it.
"I am a fragment of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world---into the black places in the hearts of men---and change some things in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life."

Roadside inferno火海救援
Looks like a brush fire(灌木叢火災(zāi)), Kim Cooper thought as she spotted an orange glow ahead on Interstate 75. It was near dusk(黃昏) , and she and her husband, Steve, were trucking through northern Kentucky hauling(搬運(yùn)，牽引) auto parts from Louisville to Detroit for a freight(貨運(yùn)) company. Steve, 59, was fast asleep in the truck's living quarters as Kim, 52, drove up to the scene. That's when she saw it was much worse than a brush fire.
"Steve, wake up!" she shouted. "There's a truck on fire!" A big rig had tumbled down(破敗) an embankment(路堤) , and flames were crawling across its cab. Kimyanked(猛拉) their truck to the side of the road, and Steve pulled on(戴，穿) his clothes. Then he scrambled down the slope.
Inside the burning truck, Ronnie Sanders, 38, was fighting for his life. He'd been running a heavy load of tractors and forklifts(鏟車) from Georgia to Indianapolis when a Grand Caravan in front of him stopped suddenly in traffic on the icy road. As Ronnie bore down, he could see children in the backseat. The truck's bulk(體積，容量) would probably protect him from the worst of the impact, but the momentum of 23 tons would likely crush everyone inside the van.
"In Kentucky, the hills are steep, but at that moment, I didn't think about it," he says of that evening last November. "I figured instead of killing other people, I'd just put the truck in the ditch(溝渠，壕溝) ." He jerked(猛拉，痙攣) the wheel to the right, somehow keeping the truck upright as it plowed 60 feet down the embankment. At the bottom, rocks pierced a fuel tank, which ignited(點(diǎn)燃，燃燒) . A tree branch smashed through the windshield(擋風(fēng)玻璃) and knocked Ronnie unconscious. He came to a couple of minutes later to find the cab in flames and his legs on fire.
Ronnie yelled for help as he struggled to escape. But the cab was smashed in, and try as he might, he couldn't untangle(清理，整頓) himself from his seat belt.
As Steve bolted down the slope, he could hear Ronnie's cries ahead. Then a thundering sound erupted behind him.
A Ford Taurus, which had lost control in the melee(混戰(zhàn)，格斗) above, had skidded off the highway and was now barreling down the slope directly at him. With no time to dive out of the way, he leaped upward and sailed over the car's hood.
The Taurus came to a halt close to the truck. Kim was already scrambling toward the car. Its passengers appeared shaken but unharmed as she helped maneuver(演習(xí)，調(diào)遣) the car away from the burning truck. Meanwhile, Steve dashed to Ronnie, who was dangling headfirst from the passenger door. Ronnie had used his pocketknife to cut himself free from the driver's-side seat belt only to get his boot ensnared(誘入陷阱) in another one. Steve climbed into the burning cab to free him.
"All that was going through my mind was, My God, I do not want to be here," Steve recalls. "It was so hot, I could hardly stand it."
He tried three times to pull Ronnie out before finally freeing him. But Ronnie's legs were still burning, so Steve laid him on the ground, ripped off his own shirt, and beat the flames with it. He'd managed to drag him about 20 yards when one of the truck's 150-gallon fuel tanks exploded.
"It was like a cannon(大炮) blast," says Steve. "The percussive(敲擊的，沖擊的)force hurt my chest. It just picked me up and blew me back." Fortunately, the explosion was aimed skyward.
Steve got up and peeled off(剝?nèi)?，脫? what was left of Ronnie'ssmoldering(悶燒，陰燃) jeans and held his hand while they waited for the ambulance, as Kim raced up and down the slope, grabbing wet towels and a blanket.
Both Steve and Ronnie paid a price for risking their lives for strangers. Ronnie spent two months in the hospital and received skin grafts(植皮手術(shù)) on both of his legs. He now wears compression garments(服裝，衣著) for his scars and gets physical therapy twice a week. "If Steve hadn't done what he did, I probably would have beentoast(烘，烤) ," he says. Steve suffered smoke inhalation and minor burns, andshrapnel(彈片) from the explosion broke a tooth.
In February, the Coopers received a Hero of the Highway award from the Open Road Foundation for rescuing an injured driver. Steve insists Ronnie is the real hero: "If he hadn't gone into the ditch, he would have hit that van. It was his decision to drive off the road."
"I feel pretty good about it," says Ronnie. "A lot of people could have been hurt."
