清明给爷爷奶奶写信


敬爱的爷爷奶奶
这不是我第一次拜祭你们
却是首次让你们上来面子书
让无法前去的家人共思亲

这也不是我第一次
给你们的家添新红笔印
却是首次和已成人的小弟
一人一边合力完成

这更不是第一次给你们烧冥纸
却是继多年前供品转素以后
首次向家人建议将钱捐助贫苦人
以如此功德继续庇荫子孙

很多很多的非首次
却是第一次给你们写信
第一次发现'大麻'二字
是你们在大埔县里的老乡镇

A first time letter to my grandpa and grandma- For the first time i posted you on FB to let family members who can't attend to express their remembrance; For the first time i painted your 'house' together with my already-grown up brother; For the first time i suggested not to burn incense paper but donate the money to help the needy, and for the first time i realise the two words 'Da Ma' (commonly meant as Marijuana) is actually the name of your village in China.
