Auge in Auge

Eye to eye and nose to nose,
how long, I wonder, can we hold this pose
How big he is, this Gentle Ben,
I wonder if he would mind to be my friend

When I grow up, I hope to be,
as friendly and kind, as he is to me
For all that I hope for, in the long years ahead,
may I face all my challenges, head to head

Auge in Auge und Nase an Nase,
wie lange, frage ich mich, können wir diese Pose halten
Wie groß er ist, dieser Gentle Ben,
ich frage mich, ob es ihm etwas ausmachen würde mein Freund zu sein

When I grow up, möchte ich
so freundlich und nett sein, wie er zu mir ist
Für alles hoffe ich, in den langen Jahren vor mir,
dass ich alle meine Herausforderungen konfrontieren kann, Kopf an Kopf

“This is the famous Cottage Garden, the Vita and Harold loved so much. I like it also liked, actually he is my favorite place. What is so magical, these are the flowers: thickness, rich flower beds.
