Am Bilderrahmen an der Wand neben meinem Schreibtisch klemmt eine durch Jahr(zehnt)e strapazierte Postkarte. Meine Mutter hatte sie gefunden, als sie den inzwischen ihren Schreibtisch mal wieder anders sortieren wollte.
Eine Karteikarte mit pfarrersüblichen Notizen. Römer 12, 12. „Seid fröhlich in Hoffnung, geduldig in Trübsal,…“.
Auf der anderen Seite der Karte – ich weiß nicht, welche Vorder- oder Rückseite sein soll – lese ich: „Meiner lieben Ursula zum Geburtstag 1977 – immer – Dein Vater – der, solange er lebt, immer für Dich da sein möchte!“
Er hätte heute 90 Jahre alt werden sollen. (1924 – 1986).
Sometimes I ring up heaven – you`re still alive. missya. happy birthday.
was one of the feedbacks for Mattafix Living Darfur… They are right 🙂
See the nation through the people’s eyes,
See tears that flow like rivers from the skies.
Where it seems there are only borderlines
Where others turn and sigh,
You shall rise
You shall rise
There’s disaster in your past
Boundaries in your path
What do you desire will lift you higher?
You don’t have to be extraordinary, just forgiving.
Those who never heard your cries,
You shall rise
You shall rise
And look toward the skies.
Where others fail, you prevail in time.
You shall rise.
You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low
You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low
You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low
You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low
You shall rise
You shall rise
You shall rise
Sooner or later we must try
Living
Ingane ezindane zabo zodlala zibuziswa
You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low
You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low
You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low
You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low
See the nation through the people’s eyes,
See tears that flow like rivers from the skies.
Where it seems there are only borderlines
Where others turn and sigh,
You shall rise
You shall rise
You shall rise
You shall rise
You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low
You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low
You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low
You may never know,
If you lay low, lay low
