User:Johann31

Born in 1931 in Washington DC. (USA), now living in Bremen (Germany), I have been using the amenities of Wikipedia passively for many years.

On June 12th, 2008, I became active in the German version of wikipedia as de:Benutzer:Johann31. In October 2013, I started doing translations for the English version: pilot project with Bremer Tourismuszentrale.

''And so I face the final curtain

''My friend I'll say it clear

''I'll state my case of which I'm certain

''I've lived a life that's full

''I traveled each and every highway

''And more, much more than this

''I did it my way.

''Regrets I've had a few



''But then again too few to mention

''I did what I had to do

''And saw it through without exemption

''I planned each charted course

''Each careful step along the byway

''And more, much more than this

''I did it my way.

''Yes there were times I'm sure you knew

''When I bit off more than I could chew



''But through it all when there was doubt

''I ate it up and spit it out,

''I faced it all and I stood tall

''and did it my way.

''I've loved, I've laughed and cried,

''I've had my fill, my share of losing

''And now as tears subside

''I find it all so amusing.

''To think I did all that



''And may I say not in a shy way

''Oh no, oh no, not me,

''I did it my way.

''For what is a man what has he got

''If not himself then he has not

''To say the things he truly feels

''And not the words of one who kneels

''The record shows I took the blows

''And did it my way.

''Yes it was my way.
