OUR PLACE OUR SPACE
Oh awesome, sweet garden, how happy you make me,
When I have breakfast on our patio and absorb you with glee,
Mid-morning comes in a flash with a fleeting cup of coffee,
Then lunch, have a quick sandwich amidst the glory,

Jasmin
Gleaming stars in a Chinese percaline teacup

Jasmine
Harbor nights light up our skys as crimson
stars twinkle in our eyes.
Blanket of jasmine touches our summer times
Imprinted in the hearts of all times.
If there’s a slightest hint that I give hope through
My words of wisdom, I will always write.
Sometimes we need a pleading call before we fall
Into the velvet blanket of night.
Throw caution

Blüten Des Jasmin/Flowers of Jasmine/Flores Del Jazmín
Tanzend in der Sonne
Die zarten Blüten des Jasmin
Wie duftendes Porzellan
In dem sanften Frühlingshauch
Erklingen die Lieder der Vögel

Dancing in the sun
The fragile flowers of Jasmine
Like fragrant porcelaine
In the soft breeze of spring
Resound the songs of birds

Bailando en el sol
Las flores finos del jazmín
Como porcelana fragante
En suave soplo primaveral
Resuenan los cantos de pájaros
