– Yesterday I bought a jar of honey. –
– I bought it at an electrical store. –
– I bought it and brought it home, –
– at home I sat down at the table and pondered –
– about things that came while the bees were gathering honey –
– about the sorrows of many and the beauty of everyday days. –
– The days pass one by one and the simple soul nestles against the rose, –
– and the rose gives him drink from its thorny stem, –
– until he is all soaked with water like a sponge after rain. –
– When he is unsure, he lacks all self-confidence. –
– When someone stands in his way, –
– he silently walks around them. –
– When it is haymaking, –
– he likes to join the mowers to help, –
– but he does not have enough strength to reach the end of the meadow. –
– When the sun sets, they all walk together in silence, –
– until someone begins to sing the evening song. –
– He, the simple soul, follows them quietly and reflects –
– on things that came while the bees were gathering honey –
– on the sorrows of many and the beauty of everyday days. –
– The days pass one by one and the simple soul nestles against the rose, –
– the rose nestles against the simple soul and both sit in silence, –
– until the simple soul begins to sing the evening song. –
– God help those who are in need. –
