《如果有来生》If I had a next life
作者：三毛

如果有来生，要做一棵树，
If I had a next life,

I would like to be a tree,

站成永恒，没有悲欢的姿势；
standing eternally,
in a posture without happiness and sorrow.

一半在尘土里安详，
一半在风里飞扬；
Half would lie beneath the earth, peacefully.
Half would dance with the wind, joyfully.

一半洒落荫凉，
一半沐浴阳光。
Half would scatter shading, willingly.
Half would bathe in the sunshine, warmly.

非常沉默、非常骄傲。
从不依靠、从不寻找。
So quiet and proud were I,
and never would I cling and search.

#蒋南孙鼓励妈妈为自己而活#都说蒋南孙像一棵树，我想起了一句话:
如果有来生，要做一棵树，站成永恒没有悲伤的姿态；一半在尘土里安详，一半在空中飞扬；一半洒落阴凉，一半沐浴阳光；非常沉默非常骄傲，从不依靠从不寻找。
虽然与南孙不完全可以相比，但是都坚挺不卑不亢的。南孙让妈妈走出去，为自己而活，从此她就要挑大梁了，常常一个人。
南孙骨子里的自由与坚毅在信仰里住着，所以她劝妈妈做自己。
