LIFE’S  LITTLE  DREAM

Give thanks for the light while the sweet light lasts.
Give thanks for the glorious sun and the rain.
Give thanks for the storm and the wind that blasts
Hailstones from heaven on your windowpanes.
Give thanks for your legs while your legs are strong.
Give thanks for the green hills, still there to climb.
Give thanks for the dogs that gambol along
Beside you, their tails all wagging in time.
Where have they gone, the friends you would die for?
Where is their laughter now, where are their tears?
Where do they sit now, with none to adore
Their wizened old faces marked with the years?
Bless the new day, although heavy your load,
And carry your cross to the end of the road.

  1. For all things, give thanks! 🙂
    I like these verses, and I hope everyone realizes that without God, we cannot even take another breath… 🤕

  2. Danke dem Licht kuerzweilig wie der Sonne hehr so schoen
    bedanke dich dem Regen
    denke dem Sturm und Foehn
    und die prallenden Hegelsturm die Fensterscheiben entgegen .

    bedanke dem Gang und dem staerken Bein
    dem gruenen Hugel da bietet sich zum Steigen
    dem Hundlein geht man nicht allein
    wessen Schwanz da wedelt sich zum Reigen.

    wo bleiben alte Feunde , denen man einst gebe das Leben als Preis
    wohin die verhallende Gelaechter und Traenen , wer Weiss?
    wo sitzen sie ,vergessen und ungeliebt damitten
    haben ihre berunzelte Gesichter vergebens gelitten?

    selige dem neuen Tag und was du hast
    trage das Kreuzen
    so schwer sei dein Last.
