The world was big, I was small,
but felt tough on my bike which I
barely at the trappers could..

In my beautiful dress I cycled
to the wheat fields where I sat me
between the blue cornflowers scattered..

Silent was the world around me
and all the wild flowers were my friends and
God was there as eternal friendly smiling sun.

When I was still a little girl
in the days when everything felt
so safe..

I strolled about the fields
looking for signals from other times,
a former past..

Dreaming with my Child's mind
I could empathize with me then
in other times..

Still was the world around me
and the fields with their prehistoric treasures
were my prayers..

When I was still a little girl
in the days when everything still felt so safe,
that everything was as God meant..

Now the world is pressure for me
and often one does not even bother to listen
to each other..

Now the world is quiet around me again,
my body is great,
but my inner child is still small.

Silent is my world around me and all the
wild flowers are again here as my friends,
and God is there as an eternal
friendly smiling sunshine..

mine, inside me...
