深き想ひ









浮き草の


上は茂れる


淵なれや


深き心を


知る人ぞなき




私の心は浮草が上に茂った深い淵だろうか
深い思いを知る人はいない
















Change








World conditions are constantly changing, and attitudes much change with them.
If they do not, catastrophe is bound to follow.
The attitude that now is most in need of changes is the way
we view the relationship of ourselves and our countries to other lands.

わたしの願い





わたしはしゃべれない歩けない

口がうまくうごかない

手も足も自分の思ったとおりうごいてくれない

一番つらいのはしゃべれないこと

言いたいことは自分の中にたくさんある

でもうまく伝えることができない

先生やお母さんに文字盤を指でさしながら

ちょっとずつ文ができあがっていく感じ

自分の言いたかったことがやっと言葉になっていく



神様が1日だけ魔法をかけて

しゃべれるようにしてくれたら…

家族といっぱいおしゃべりしたい

学校から帰る車をおりてお母さんに

「ただいま!」って言う

「わたし、しゃべれるよ!」って言う

お母さんびっくりして腰をぬかすだろうな

お父さんとお兄ちゃんに電話して

「琴音だよ!早く、帰ってきて♪」って言う

2人ともとんで帰ってくるかな

家族みんながそろったらみんなでゲームをしながらおしゃべりしたい

お母さんだけはゲームがへたやから負けるやろうな

「まあ、まあ、元気出して」ってわたしが言う

魔法がとける前に

家族みんなに

「おやすみ」って言う

それでじゅうぶん

小学生の言葉にハッとする…
もうずいぶん前の話だけど。

My Wish

I can't speak or walk. 
I can't move my mouth very well.
The worst thing is that I can't speak.

There are so many stories in my mind that I want to tell.
However, I can't tell them well.

My words are assembled little by little as I point the dial plate to my mother or teacher.
This is how I say the wards I want to say.

If God casts a spell on me and makes me be able to speak for only one day, 
I really want to talk with my family.

After I come back home from school, I'd say "I'm home" to my mother while I get out of the car.
I'd also say "I can speak."
She would be surprised at the scene and be speechless.
After that, I'd call my father and brother and say: 
"It's me, Kotone! Come back home early!"
They both may rush back home.
When all my family members get together, I would want to play games while chatting with them.
My mother is not good at playing games, so she would lose.
I would tell her, "Keep your chin up!"
Before my spell is lifted, I would say, "Goodnight" to each of my family members.

That's enough.
