The rose Bette Midler 　 LOVE MATTERS What is Love?? Love is…


 Some say love, it is a river
 
有人說，愛是條河 

that drowns the tender reed

容易將柔弱的蘆葦淹沒

Some say love, it is a razor

有人說，愛是把剃刀

that leaves your soul to bleed

會任由你的靈魂淌血

Some say love, it is a hunger an endless aching need

有人說，愛是種饑渴 一種無盡的帶痛的需求 I say love is a flower 我說，愛是一朵花 And you, it's only seed 而你，只是花的種籽

It's the one who won't be taken who can not seem to give

不願吃虧的人 不懂得付出

And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

憂心死亡的靈魂 不懂得生活
 And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong

當你覺得只有幸運者 及強者才有幸得到愛

Just remember in the winter

謹記，在嚴寒的冬日裡

Far beneath the bitter snow lies the seed 

酷雪的覆蓋下，躺著一顆種籽 

That with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose 

一旦春陽臨照，就能幻化成一朵　玫　瑰

What is love? Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. Love is like a friendship caught on fire. Love is a battle. Love is a war, easy to begin but very hard to stop Love is life, and if you miss love, you miss life. Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time. Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same. (Helen Keller)

Glove Bruce Guernsey If in this word is love itself Then love is bone and blood inside the form that warms your lovely hand— Your hand is love and mine that takes your love in mine Without your hand Is nothing but an empty word

A White Rose John Boyle O’Reilly 1844-1890 The red rose whispers of passion, And the white rose breathes of love; Oh, the red rose is a falcon, And the white rose is a dove. Uh I send you a cream-white rosebud With a flush on its petal tips; For the love that is purest and sweetest Has a kiss of desire on the lips
