“Dear Grandma and Grandpa. We would like to read you a poem, by“Haldis Moren Vesaas, “Å vera i livet” (To be in life)
This: to be in life.
open for everything around
bound by firm roots
to people and to things
give both heart and hands
in care that never betrays,
was what gave meaning to your journey
and let you feel wealthy.

And the wealthy wants
a house in such a manner built
that everyone who belongs to the house
feel that it’s nice and safe,
and so that strangers happily
come inside the doors
and increase the wealth that is already there
with everything they themselves are.

You were poor if never
in life you got to feel
that between you and the others
there were living streams
of trust and warmth that strengthened
every rope that tied you to life
and let you feel, when everything is done
