A Flower

Eine Blume / A Flower / Una flor Eine Blume blüht mir jetzt zu dieser Zeit. Ach hätte sie doch auch für mich geblüht in der Vergangenheit! A flower blooms only for me this very time Oh if it would have also bloomed for me in earlier times! Una flor florece sólo para mí en este tiempo ¡Oh, si también habría florecido para mí en tiempos pasados!

I definitely enjoyed all three versions of this concise work...especially since I lived 2 years in Germany in the 60's and have lived both in Mexico and on the south Texas border with Mexico for many years. Excellent job.

Dear Gert- I was waiting for you to post a new work. It is interesting how, through this brief poem, you feel as though the flower's beauty is made especially for YOU! I believe that's how God planned it! Have a great day. Gwendolen
