5.9.2024 – Lyrics by John Lennon
This time we remember Knut as a messanger of love and friendship. The little polar bear succeeded where the world leaders fail – uniting people throughout the world! We live under the same sun, the same moon, the same stars – and we can be friends despite differencies in race, religion, language or geographical location.
What a wonderful planet the earth would be without all the greedy and power-hungry leaders. Why do people elect them – that’s a mystery for me!
John Lennon wrote a wonderful song so I let him continue.
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin’ for today
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin’ life in peace
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
The beautiful true fairy tale had a tragic ending but we will always cherish the memory of our lovely Knut and his keeper Thomas Dörflein.
Dumba’s tribute to Knut












Dear Mervi,
dear Dumba,
The photo selection is one of the most beautiful and touching photos of Knut, to which John Lennon’s text fits very well.
The magical story of Knut with his world-connecting life story conveyed a small glimmer of hope about the dream of fieden described by J. Lennon. But as is so often the case, this dream was also destroyed, yet Knut remains unforgotten!
Kind regards
Britta-Gudrun
Die Geschichte von “KNUT”, sie war zu schön, um wahr zu sein und nahm ein trauriges Ende…💝🐼🐻❄️💖
IMAGINE, die Worte von John Lennon,der Wunsch nach FRIEDEN, MITMENSCHLICHKEIT und LIEBE bleibt bestehen und gilt für alle Geschöpfe,die Natur solange es wohl den Planeten Erde gibt…💝
Dear Mervi – I can’t but agree: your choice of KNUT-pictures for today show some of the most beautiful and touching ones!
I also like your text and the combination with the lyrics of the most beautiful song written and sang by John Lennon.
THANK YOU!
Dear Mervi!
You have created a magical page for a magical bear! Thank you so much! John, Thomas, Knut and many beloved people and animals have gone before us. They have all made the world a better place during their lives. Imagine is the song to go with the beautiful pictures.
Dear Dumba! Thank you for the lovely collage!
Hugs
Anke
Dear Mervi and Dumba
The Lennon song is especially fitting as his life was also cut short like Thomas’s and Knut’s. All of them brought people together and made us think about how we all live in the same fragile world.
Dear Mervi!
Thank you for the emotional story. Everything could have turned out happily.
Hugs
Ludmila
