Great Duet - the young and the old singing together! I love it!
Take a little time to relax and enjoy this video.
LIFE - WE BECOME WHAT WE THINK
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with
the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and
tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have
been all of these. -
George Washington Carver

LOVE
There are many things in this world,
There are many people in this world,
There are many colors in this world
And each one is different.
In our world people have different colors
And they live quite often happily together side by side.
Colors are important
Because they make our world beautiful,
But they are not as important as what we feel, or what we think,
Or what we do.
Color is something, what our eyes recognize.
But love is something that we recognize with the heart.
Now I am asking you “What is the color of love?”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Translation (German)
Es gibt viele Dinge in dieser
Welt, es gibt viele Menschen auf dieser Welt, in dieser Welt gibt es viele
Farben und jede ist anders. In unserer Welt haben die Menschen verschiedene Farben, und sie leben oft glücklich zusammen, Seite an Seite. Farben sind wichtig, da sie
unsere Welt schöner machen, aber sie sind nicht so wichtig, wie das was wir
fühlen, oder was wir denken , oder was wir tun. Farbe ist etwas, was wir mit
den Augen erkennen. Aber Liebe ist etwas, das wir mit dem Herzen erkennen.

In our world people have different colors
