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.
