Memories from childhood summers
still tickling my stomach
Through overgrown paths
Red painted farmhouse
where flowers and weeds grew in harmony
It seems as yesterday, but it is long ago
Outbuilding with a heart on the door
Didn't exactly smell as roses
A carefree shed, with photographs
of the royal family on the wall
You don't wipe yourself behind with
the head of the country
With padlocks and cracked beams
that filtered the daylight (and odor)
Silent testimony
the time when life was different
Shoulder to shoulder in the struggle for existence
with teamwork and brotherhood
to achieve a common goal
The feeling of community in all simplicity
Childhood memories
not only smell of venerable dust,
outbuildings or weeds
but brings along
an atmosphere of ancient wisdom
