Stefanie Haertel

Things are never as good as through children’s eyes

My days seem senseless
 
No joy or games to play.
 
Everything is serious,
 
Too serious to life.
 
I’m only working
 
I thing I lost my life.
 
News are sad today,
 
Nothing new.
 
Everybody is rushing to work,
 
No one notices the sunshine,
 
The flowers at the pavement
 
Or the shiny smile of a cute baby.
 
Are we really living?
 
And I’m asking myself
 
Where has all the magic gone,
 
Which used to be in my world,
 
Which used to fill my heart with light.
 
Is it really gone
 
Or are we just to blind to see?
 
Shouldn’t we see things
 
Like through children’s eyes?
 
 
 
When I was a child,
 
Everthing seemed beautiful
 
And full of joy.
 
Shouldn’t we keep a bit of the magic,
 
What we used to have when we were children,
 
In our lives.
 
Shouldn’t we be glad, to hear the birds singing in the morning,
 
Or to see that someone cares for you.
 
There’s more to live in life then work.
 
Natural as the way we were born,
 
We need something to make us live.

Westwinde (Gedichte) von Stefanie Haertel



Wir folgen den Düften des Westwindes und seinen Spuren. Tipp, tapp läßt eine Autorin ihre Katze über die Seiten schlendern. In diesem Gedichtband finden Sie viele Gedichte über die Liebe und ihr wandelbares Wesen. Den geheimen Botschaften von Graffitimalereien wird auf den Grund gegangen. Herbstliche Stimmungen im Oktober sind aufgezeichnet. Auch Europas geschichtlichen Wurzeln geht jemand auf den Grund. Gefragt wird wie wir von unseren gesellschaftlichen Verhältnissen umstellt sind und uns selbst zu ihnen stellen. Folgen Sie uns auch nach Las Vegas!
