TIEF IM WALDE STEHT EIN BRUNNEN …..

                (A POEM IN GERMAN)

                     

MY PARENTS HAVE LONG GONE.

My parents are long gone, you see,

To a place much more benign.

United and at peace they are,

And I am waiting for their sign.

They left me and I feel bewildered,

So lonely, bearing all brunt,

With my life, its trials, daily toil,

And the happiness I hunt.

No more their comfortable guidance,

No more of their security,

I feel bereft, in many needs;

Where is this place: eternity?

The day will come when re-united,

with my dear parents I shall be,

and together then for evermore

rejoicing in God’s company.
