Lessons learned

That is a new poem Written by Aldo Kraas

Lessons learned

From our father

We had learned

Many years ago

When we had our confirmation

We had been only a teenager

Back then

Also, our father had thought

Us to pray

And we had prayed together

With our father

Also, we had prayed for each

Many years ago

When we had our confirmation

Today we are adults

And our teenager’s lives

We already lived

Also, our father had

Given us lots of freedom

To live our lives

The way we want

Yes father we have good

Friends in our lives

That you also created

Them with your holy hands

And also placed them here

On earth to live

And they must tell you

That they are also

Happy with Their lives

That your father gave them

To live

Also, they hope to be alive

Every single day here

On earth

Also father they pray for you

Every single night before they go

To bed

Also, it only takes a few minutes

For then to pray to you

Now finally they are going

To sleep

Because it is getting late already

Past there bedtime

Yes father you made the night

For us to sleep

Also, the night is long

We must tell you, father

Also father we don’t need to take

Sleeping pills

Because we just don’t have trouble

Sleeping

We sleep fine at night

Yes father tomorrow will be

Another day

That you will bring first

The thing in the morning

And we are already waiting for it

Also, we hope it doesn’t rain tomorrow

Because we just want some sunshine

All-day long
