Canaletto's Regenbogenbrücke
auf englisch gibt es ein schönes, tröstendes Gedicht:
Lend Me A Kitten
I will lend to you
for a while a kitten, God said.
For you to love while she lives,
and mourn when she is dead
*
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years,
or maybe two or three.
But will you, till I call her back,
take care of her for me?
*
She'll bring her charme to gladden you
and should her stay be brief,
you'll always have her memories
as solace for your grief.
*
I cannot promise she will stay,since
all from earth return, but there are
lessons taught below this kitten is to
learn.
*
I've looked the whole
world over
in search of teachers true,
and from all the folks on earth
I have chosen you
*
Now will you give her all your love,
not think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take
my kitten home again?
*
And my heart replied,
"My Lord, that will be done."
For all the joys this kitten brings,
the risk of grief I'll run.
*
We'll shelter her with tenderness,
we'll love her while we may,
and for the happiness we've known,
forever grateful stay.
*
But should you call her back
much sooner than we planned,
we'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
and try to understand.
*
If by our love we've managed
your wishes to achieve,
in memory of her sweet love,
please help us
while we grieve
*
When our cherished kitten departs
this world of stress and strife,
please send yet another needing soul
to love for all her life
***
so God has lent me (for a while):
