Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower
and you its only seed.
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance,
It's the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong.
Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose
I have heard this song a gazillion times as a kid but you know, I don't think I ever got it until now.
Sure I thought it was a pretty song and I even knew the words back then, but there was no way without living a little that I could ever understand the meaning within these lyrics.I understand now;
as life has sent me on my journey and though I still have much living yet to do,
I have been through enough that when I listened to this song today, it brought tears to my eyes.
What a beautiful song this is, I am so glad I listened to it once again.
As for the photograph which is the reason I went and listened to the song in the first place...
This was our experiment with glitter and water on our flowers,
Haley and I thought it would be fun to see what it would look like.
She is pleased with the result and so am I.
And yes, this is the kinda stuff we do for fun now a days. LOL
