Strength
A night is never eternal
Day derives by dawn
Hear the birds calling out the Sun
Tjilp, tjilp, Come big yelow Ball
Appear in the lawn
Make this darkness gone
Dark is not completely night
Moon climbs out of the ground
To shine where people travel
Sometimes the shy Sun is out of sight
Behind clouds it can be found
Sheltering on an awkward level
Yet after too much rain
No one can escape behind a dark cloud
Even not the big Sun
The ball of warmth has to show again
And lo there it is thriumphantly aloud
It crawls affront beauties shine has won
Everybody has sorrow, fear, distrust, hatred,
Shyness, misery, insecurity, anger
Oh yes, even the Bear in the wood is like you, me and who not
Yet everybody also has happiness, courage, trust
Love, proud, friendship, security, joy
The Bear stumbles along through the wood
Of the night
Stars and Moon reflect on white snow
Darkness is lost, no access to this good
World of never ending light
Those ever warmly shine and glow
In this world all fear,
Sorrow, hatred, and insecurity disappear
The light of warmth, love and friendship
Is the gatekeeper for this world
Nothing else can come in
Be the Sun, the Moon, and the Bear, search this world!
