You are the source from where all things come
earth, you are our eternal great planet home,
one day I will be of you a part
when in you I lie in my flesh, bones and heart
or maybe before that time God will me in heaven welcome
if I do exist when He does appear
and in a time you will pass into fire and fear
when nothing more do of my verses and words become,
earth, you are our eternal great planet home,

I would like to translate this poem
It is so lovely and sentimental- a man's life as a part of his bond with this planet. Thanks, Gert.
