What Love Means

What Love means / Was Liebe bedeutet / Que el amor significa 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 Note: Co-written with Jack Horne for Walayee's Soup Member Contest

So beautiful, Gert. You and Jack worked very well on this one and I already left a comment on the poem he posted yesterday. Jack is right, you both need to post the entire poem and each of you has to enter it in Walayee's contest. Hope to see your work in the winners' circle! Love, Carolyn

I think we both had to post the two parts of the poem, Gert. I posted yours as well. It probably doesn't really matter anyway, but I'll ask Carolyn : ) Sorry to hear your hand and arm are still poorly. love from Jack
