Array ( [sid] => 112359 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => You Ask If We Shall Meet Again [time] => 2005-12-31 15:36:27 [hometext] => This is my mothers poem, translated by me from the German Original. Tough job to do my mother justice ! [bodytext] =>




You ask shall we again each other find
When our mortal frame is left behind,
When we have passed into the unknown land,
Where eons are like tiny grains of sand.

When clocks will tick no more, nor hours strike,
When poor and rich are leveled all alike,
When done with is the fear of unknown fate,
Where spirits interweave and penetrate.

So let me tell you dearest, since you ask,
If we have done with love our earthly task
And heart and will were set on Truth and right,
Yes dear, we find each other in His light.

© Elizabeth Dandy





Below is the German Original as composed by my mother




Du Fragst ob wir uns Wiederfinden.

Du fragst ob wir uns wieder finden, drueben im fernen Land?
Wo Jahre gleich den Koernchen im tiefen Meeresstrans?
Ob wir uns dort erkennen, im weiten Totenreich,
Entbloesst der Leibeshuelle, wo reich und arm sich gleich.

Wo keine Zeit ankuendet, der Uhrenstundenschlag,
Und keine Nacht verdunkelt den ewig jungen Tag.
Wo Wesen sich an Wesen, ganz unbeirrt durchschwebt,
Der Geist, ob gut or boese, endlose Zeiten lebt.

Dort werden wir uns finden im hellen Gottesschein,
War unser Wollen edel, und unsere Taten rein,
War unser Sei dem Hoechsten verbunden und geeint,
Dann werden wir in Gottes,- mit Gott vereinigt sein!

© Maria Magdalena Doppelmayr

AH-HA, Now I see, why you became such a great poet. I just knew you had an unfair advantage over me, somehow; -and here it is. Seriously, God bless your dear Mom, and thanks for her influence on you.
