What Love Means Was Liebe Bedeutet Que El Amor Significa

Written by Jack Horne and Gert Knop Love’s soft petals fall Leaving bare thorny branches Heady perfume gone But with care and attention From one rose grows a bouquet Zarte Liebesblüten fallen Nur nackte dornige Zweige bleiben Kein berauschender Duft mehr Doch mit Pflege und Liebe Wird aus einer Rose ein Bouquet Pétalos de amor caen Dejando lampiñas ramas espinosas No más embriaga perfume Pero con cuidado y atención Crece de una rosa un ramillete Love a blooming rose Always flowering in us And nourished by faith A never ending story A safe heaven for our soul Liebe eine blühende Rose Sie blüht immer in uns Genährt durch Vertrauen Eine unendliche Geschichte Zuflucht für unsere Seele El amor es una rosa Floreciendo en nosotros Alimentados por la confianza Una historia sin fin Refugio de nuestra alma

Jack, you and Gert did a super job on this collaboration! Love is often compared to a rose, but thorns are part of the package. I think it will be difficult for most readers to figure out which of you wrote each verse -- it flows so well. In some cases, the German is easier to translate lines and in others, it's the Spanish that comes through more easily. Thank you both for sharing this beautiful poem with us! Love, Carolyn
