英语四级作文2400字：心灵之歌(Song of Mind)
when she was very little, he would pick her up, hum a tune and dance with her around the room, and he would tell her, "i love you, little girl."
when the little girl was growing up, the great man would hug her and tell her, "i love you, little girl." the little girl would pout and say, "im not a little girl anymore." then the man would laugh and say, "but to me, youll always be my little girl."the little girl who-was-not-little-anymore left her home and went into the world. as she learned more about herself, she learned more about the man. she saw that he truly was great and strong, for now she recognized his strengths. one of his strengths was his ability to epress his love to his family. it didnt matter where she went in the world, the man would call her and say, "i love you, little girl."
the day came when the little girl who-was-not-little-anymore received a phone call. the great man was damaged. he had had a stroke. he was aphasic, they eplained to the girl. he couldnt talk anymore and they werent sure that he could understand the words spoken to him he could no longer smile, laugh, walk, hug, dance or tell the little girl who-was-not-little-anymore that he loved her.and so she went to the side of the great man. when she walked into the room and saw him, he looked small and not strong at all. he looked at her and tried to speak, but he could not.
the little girl did the only thing she could do. she climbed up on the bed net to the great man. tears ran from both of their eyes and she drew her arms around the useless shoulders of her father.her head on his chest, she thought of many things. she remembered the wonderful times together and how she had always felt protected and cherished by the great man. she felt grief for the loss she was to endure, the words of love that had comforted her.and then she heard from within the man, the beat of his heart. the heart where the music and the words had always lived. the heart beat on, steadily unconcerned about the damage to the rest of the body. and while she rested there, the magic happened. she heard what she needed to hear.
his heart beat out the words that his mouth could no longer say …
i love you! i love you! i love you!
little girl! little girl! little girl!
and she was comforted.
