詩「アメ玉」

©️白川美古都

子どものころに出会えたら
もう少しうまく
笑えただろうか

子どものころに出会えたら
もう少しうまく
遊べただろうか

アメ玉がふたつあるから
ひとつあげるなんて
説明なんてしなくても
きみにわたせただろうか

これ おいしいんだ
きみにもあげると
ポケットにひとつしかないアメ玉
きみにわたせただろうか

If we had met as children,
would I have been able to smile a little better?

If we had met as children,
would I have been able to play a little better?

Would I have been able to give you one of my two candies
without needing to explain,
"I have two, so I'll give you one"?

Would I have been able to say,
"This is so good, I want you to have one,"
and hand you the only candy
I had in my pocket?
