Love Speaks All Languages

Love Speaks All Languages ‘Je t’aime’ he whispered with passion By the Seine with the moon bright above It sounded so very romantic French, they say, is the language of love ‘Ti amo’ declared the young Roman As he courted his lady so sweet Mario, though, was a real gigolo And Maria he’d met on the street! ‘Ich liebe dich’ said Fritz to his fraulein With earnest and serious intent ‘Ve shall march to ze bedroom heute Abend Unt zen you vill know vhat I meant!’ In Japan it is rather a mouthful When expressing so deep an emotion ‘Watashi wa, anata o aieimasu’ though, Is always said with devotion ‘Se agap-o’ is Greek for ‘I love you’ And the ancients knew all the joys Of loving and how to have fun times Especially the men and the boys! But whatever the language that’s spoken Whatever the country or clime Love is an eternal emotion And we’ll express it time after time.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
