Sterne und Traeume



Weisst du noch,

wie ich dir die Sterne vom Himmel holen wollte,

um uns einen Traum zu erfuellen?

Aber du meintest,

sie hingen viel zu hoch......!

Gerstern streckte ich mich zufaellig dem Himmel entgegen,

und ein Stern fiel in meine Hand hinein.

Er war noch warm und zeigte mir,

dass Traeume vielleicht nicht sofort in Erfuellung gehen;

aber irgendwann......?!

Dog



He will kiss your hand

that has no food to offer,

he will lick the wounds and sores

that come in encounters

with roughness of the world......

when all other friends desert,

he remains.





-George G. Vest

Trust

I trust you to take care of me, to help me through each day.
I trust you to be kind to me and teach me how to play.
I trust you when you shout at me, though I do not know why.
I trust you when you look at me with anger in your eyes.
I trust you though you beat me, I'll still be by your side.

I trust you when you scare me, but, I really want to hide.
I trust you because I'm faithful and I'll always try my best.
I trust you for the good times, forgetting all the rest.
I trust you, you are all I have, I need to feel content.
I trust you though I wonder, where all the kindness went.

I trust you when you tell me, it will be all right.
I trust you when you walk away, until your'e out of sight..
I trust you while I'm sitting here, but, I'm frightened and I'm sad.
I trust you, but, I'm lonely, have I really been that bad?
I trust you yet, I sense, that something isn't right.

I trust you, but, it's been a while, since you left me here that night.
I trust you,though I wonder why the people stop and stare.
I trust you and I hope that I will see you standing there.
I trusted you, you abandoned me, I was your faithful friend.
I trusted that the bond we had would never have an end!

Dogs Live Here

If you don't want to be greeted with paws and swinging tails,
Don't come inside because dogs live here.
If you don't like the feel of a cold nose or wet tongue,
Don't come inside because dogs live here.
If you don't want to step over many scattered toys,
Don't come inside because dogs live here.
If you think that a home ought to smell of perfume,
Don't come inside because dogs live here.
But if you don't mind all of this,
You will be instantly loved when you come inside because
Dogs live here!

Alone Again

I wish someone could tell me
What it is that I've done wrong,
Why I have to stay chained up
And left alone so long.

They seemed so glad to have me
when I came here as a pup.
There were so many things we'd do
while I was growing up.

They couldn't wait to train me
as companion and as friend.
They told me they would never fear
being left alone again.

The children said they'd feed me,
said they'd brush me every day,
they'd play with me and walk me,
If only I could stay.

But now the family hasn't time.
They often say I shed.
They wont allow me in the house,
not even to be fed.

The children never walk me.
They always say, "Not Now!"
I wish that I could please them.
Won't someone tell me how?

All I have is love, you see,
I wish they would explain,
why they said they wanted me
then left me on a chain.
