You did your best
Always caring just enough to be loved
And never too much to be starved
Always protecting enough to be safe
And never too much to be a slave
You did never rest
You went all out
Sometimes far beyond expectations
But never limitations
Sometimes far beyond understanding
But never demanding
You did never shout
You were so though
Often beaton down
Still not on the ground
Often exploited
Still not disappointed
But it was not enough
Don't do your best
Always making mistakes
And never enough to have heart aches
Always loosing it
And never enough to quit
Just rest
Don't go all out
Sometimes in your own imagination
But never a creation
Sometimes in your train of thought
But never being caught
Just shout
Don't be though
Often defeated
Still not deleted
Often crushed
Still not cuffed
Just enough
Tage eilen in grauen Kleidern
an mir vorbei, doch ich
glaube zu schweben, eingehüllt
in einem Mantel aus Licht.
Ich habe noch viel vor
und halte die Uhren an,
doch das Leben läuft [ ... ]
Strahlend wärmt der Sonnenschein nach dürstend, finsterer Zeit.
Licht und Wärme streichelt alle Sinne, die wir haben.
Ein Märchen scheint erwacht zu sein, in einem bunten Kleid.
Des Lebens [ ... ]
Gevatter Tod, -unsichtbarer Geselle,
verbreitest bisweilen Angst und Schrecken,
stehst von Anbeginn schon vor der Tür,
gehst neben mir, trittst an des Lebens Stelle.
