Trust

I thought it would be interesting to translate a poem into Gaeilge (Native Irish language) for you! Here it is in English and Irish and if you want to hear me reading it in Irish here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbSoWL5c7h8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRUST In your world I walk my heart and soul On paving stones I stroll as I grow old My body I will give to you Forever until dust And in your arms I place my tender trust My honour And my worldly deeds Are yours Precious treasure That your heart secures In your world Is where I want to lay With you by me And forever stay IONTAOBHAS I do domhan Siúlóid mé mo chroí agus spiorad Ar clocha pábhála Spaisteoireacht mé mar a fhásann mé d'aois Mo chorp Beidh mé a thabhairt duit Go dtí go Deo deannaigh Agus i do armas Ait mé mo mhuinín tairisceana Mo onóir Agus mo nGníomhas domhan An bhfuil mise óir lómhara Go chroí do slán I do domhan An bhfuil áit ar mhaith liom a leagan Le tú ag dom Agus fan go deo

Though I couldn't follow the translation, the English version seems to be born from deep feelings of love and trust. If you have met someone who makes you feel this way, you are lucky, David. Many of us are still searching for a relationship based on absolute trust. Thanks for stopping by and reading my silly limerick. Love and blessings, Carolyn
