Jürgen Wagner
The modest Rabbi
His students gathered close and still
So much they owed to him, oh they knew
And one by one, their praise they strew
'Like Abraham, your faith 's so strong! '
'Like Job you've faced fate's cruel song! '
'Like Moses trust in God you've shown! '
'A modern Solomon on his divine throne! '
The Rabbi's health, still grim and dire
His heart weighed down by unseen mire
'You're praised by all, and rightly so' -
His wife wished her compassion to show
But yet he felt a subtle slight
Reflected in his weary sight
No mention made, no words in tone
Of how humble he'd always shown

Book by Jürgen Wagner:
Bäumen begegnen / Mein Freund, der Baum: Baumgedichte
von Jürgen Wagner
Es wächst ein neues Bewusstsein heran, dass Bäume nicht nur Holzlieferanten sind, sondern Lebewesen mit einer Eigenart, einem sozialen Netz und einem inneren Wissen und Fähigkeiten, das wir noch gar nicht kennen. Zusammen mit Bildern und Informationen würdigen die Gedichte die Bäume in ihrer Art und ihrem Wesen und können durchaus eine Brücke der Freundschaft zu ihnen sein.
