Dagmar und Doris
‘Dagmar und Doris’
His little girls
Such good girls
His pride and joy
We had no childhood
It was a battlefield
Full of explosive bombs
No safety, no certainty
We were tiny warriors
As we experienced the horror
Of abiding war in our life
Bearing the damage still today
We never where children
Never playful and carefree
No place to hide and rest
No easygoing even today
‘Dagmar und Doris’
That is what we were called
In one breath, the pitiful ones
Who knew that nobody cares
In the evening of our life
We found each other again
‘Dagmar und Doris’
We survived. And we grow
And we will not be silent ever again!
For Dagmar and Doris: (and everybody else)
May you feel Christ always by your side in your afflictions.
May you follow His loving guidance in your life.
May you see all the blessings and gifts which are in everything in your life.
May you walk through this earthly journey with courage, honesty and faith.
And may you allow yourself to feel safe, loved, cherished and held lovingly– finally.
~Dagmar
