Today is Thursday, we are scrabbling to pack and repack and say our goodbyes to everyone: administration, teachers, cooks, students, etc. I have a little surprise for you - how about a little poem about Deutschland as we are preparing to leave. As you read the poem, please "feel" it. I know most of us do not read poetry much any more but "read and feel"......A colleague wrote this and I just had to share it with all of you reading our blog...
"OUR LOVE FOR DRESDEN" POEM
It's Wednesday night in Dresden. It was a good night.
It's Wednesday night in Dresden. It was a good night.
I want to paint a picture in words for you.
Imagine...
The rain is falling softly on old cobble stone streets.
The ancient churches and towers glistening in the glow of soft flood lights shining from below.
The bells of the Frauen Kirche tolling 7 o'clock.
The bells of the Frauen Kirche tolling 7 o'clock.
The sound of an oboe playing classical music as people walk by talking in hushed tones.
Cafes & restaurants opened with the soft light of ambience glowing & beckoning you to come in.
The looks of people happy & content eating their dinners & enjoying the company of their friends and loved ones.
Couples holding hands and whispering of love.
We all fell in love with Dresden once more as we stand holding our memories. (mt)
