there are no hours

There are no hours
For happiness,
Let’s offer words,
Let’s offer flowers,

Let’s paint our walls
Our blue houses,
Let’s offer words,
Let’s offer colors,

There are no hours
For happiness,
Do you want my heart?
listen to the river.


Il n’y a pas d’heures
Pour le bonheur,
Offrons des mots,
Offrons des fleurs,

Peignons nos murs
Nos maisons bleues,
Offrons des mots,
Offrons des couleurs,

Il n’y a pas d’heures
Pour le bonheur,
Veux tu mon cœur ?
écoute la rivière.

Ahh!! I like this one. I like to hear the river rolling along to the sea. Such a nice sound of it rushing over stones and rocks. Thank you for sharing this one with us. Sara K

It just came to me. You are like the doctor Seuss but of free verse. I really enjoy your unique style
