To the Syrian Refugees

Brigitte L. C. Waldner 1956 (Kaernten)



Have wonderful days in Austria,
until the war is over in Syria.
Enjoy your life and adore
what you can get. We give you more
as we have for ourselves.
We wish you the best, appreciate our helps.
Just try to be happy and rest,
as long as each of you is our guest.

We hope the Syrian war will be over soon,
and there will be a new sunshine and moon
to live there again and in peace without crime
with children who are happy in their school time
to study and play and have lots of fun,
not being in danger of a bad gun,
but being prepared for better life
with working in freedom and dancing jive.

Brigitte L. C. Waldner

I am from Austria, 64 years old and retired from office work as a secretary. I love nature, have 6 cats and one dog. This is my only family. And I have a neighbor who often burgles my house. When I was 19, I lived in London for 1 year as an aupair with an American family. And then I lived in Vienna for 10 years to work there and I went to evening grammar school to get Matura. I took also many ballet-lessons throughout my life. Dancing was my great hobby. And I trained quite some little girls in 1995 till 2000. more…
