《志愿服务排律》
公职无薪亦竞驰,初来华裔每称奇。
昔闻良训蓄如匮,今见真知涌若陂。
业海潜行先得讯,潮头稳立早擎旗。
社稷躬行开境界,江湖笑谈入杯卮。
妻从庾岭移栽日,我到芝庭授业时。
九秩犹勤镇务琐,半生甘隐哈佛晖。
但言内子名方贵,岂计先生位可嗤?
但秉赤诚耕陇亩,休怀机巧种蒿藜。
Volunteering Service – In Regulated Verse
For unpaid public posts, they race ahead;
New Chinese immigrants stare in surprise.
I learned from a mentor while I was led,
“Volunteering pays back beyond its guise.”
By serving in the field, you glean insights,
And get a head start riding the first tide.
You reach new heights by giving days and nights;
You’re offered a seat with drinks set aside.
My wife moved here when young, took roots, and stayed;
I joined Harvard to teach, year after year.
At ninety, she still gives township her aid;
I’m content as her spouse, my title unclear.
When introduced as “Sophia Ho’s man,”
Not the prof taught for decades on the stand.
Just work with sincere care, as you began;
If you scheme for reward, you lose the land.
《公职吟·续排律》
公职无薪亦竞驰,初来华裔每称奇。
九州本重禄名事,异域偏崇奉献时。
非为斗金趋薄宦,愿将寸意补藩篱。
夜会频开参政案,晨街自执扫尘箕。
昔闻范相先忧语,今见侨胞共济姿。
社区渐熟融如酪,议席初登慎若棋。
莫道位卑权柄小,春风亦可发寒枝。

莫道位卑权柄小,春风亦可发寒枝。
何须麟阁标勋绩,且看苔花绽石墀。
三尺讲台传薪火,四邻议事解民痍。
但存赤壤培根柢,自有青穹润雨丝。
3
但存赤壤培根柢,自有青穹润雨丝。
桃李成蹊非一日,江河赴海本千漪。
夜灯长映社区册,春韭新分邻里篱。
莫问浮名镌石否,人间功业是扶持。
4
莫问浮名镌石否,人间功业是扶持。
碑文易蚀风兼雨,心火长明日共曦。
巷陌寻常存至道,布衣俯仰即丰碑。
他年若话春泥事,满地青荫子满枝。
5
他年若话春泥事,满地青荫子满枝。
岁月不居成大道,风霜几度化宏辞。
银鞍曾耀千门烛,布履犹温五夜卮。
试看云霞生处起,青山俱是脊梁姿。
