GEORG 1937 - 2017
Ich setzte den Fuß in die Luft,
und sie trug. Hilde Domin
I set my foot upon the air,
and it carried me. Hilde Domin
You can shed tears that he has gone,
Or you can smile because he has lived.
​
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he's left.
​
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
Or you can be full of the love you shared.
​
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
​
You can remember him and only that he has gone,
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
​
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what Georg would want:
​
Smile, open your eyes, love and go on. Dave Harkins
Wo du bist und wo ich sei,
Ferneweg und nahebei;
Überall und auch indessen
Werd' ich deiner nicht vergessen;
Dein gedenk' ich, still erfreut,
Selbsten in der Einsamkeit;
Ja, im dicksten Publikum
Schwebt mein Geist um dich herum.
Wilhelm Busch
Es knospt
unter den Blättern
das nennen sie Herbst.
