I like the song The Rose by Bette Midler,

Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razer
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 it's 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

Oh thanks, Peace...

I love this song, and this singer.

Bette Midler ?  Is she the funny lady with a zany sense of humor ??

.......which means I appreciate her humor, of course.

The clipped quippy humor of Brit's having a disagreement all the while avoiding direct insults and lowering themselves to a nasty name calling wrestling match where everyone screams silly things that make no sense at all :shock:

Ummmmm.... I realize you're going to laugh at that Hope, lol..... since you understand so very little of my posts, lol.

>  snuggled up cosy by the fire watching my favorite movie at this time of year  "It's a Wonderful Life"

>  walking on crunchy autumn fall leaves and enjoying the soft sunshine shimmering through the bronze leaves on the trees

>  sitting upon my bedroom window seat with the window open whilst watching the stars wink at me from up in the clear sky

>  laughing out loud as I cycle downhill with my hair flowing in the soft gentle breeze

Thank you, Hops.  I love these lyrics.

At first, I glanced at your comment and thought "awwwwwww how sweet of you to say" but after thinking about it, I had to chuckle, cause no, I really didn't put much thought into it...if I had, it would have looked more like this:

I like:

Laying on a warm ground in springtime, on a fresh-cut lawn, glaring up into the sky and making cloud figures

Drinking warm cocoa right after the marshmallows have freshly melted and are ooey gooey

Wading in a shallow pool on a day so hot I want to crawl out of my skin

Having my spiritual mom pray over me and feeling that surge of spirit-current hit me from my head to my toes

Singing a song that has the most awesome chord arrangement that I choke through the words of it

Seeing a program on tv where someone does something from the heart for another person

Watching my school music program where all the children sing "We Share A Rainbow" about all colors getting along together

Pretending I'm a character in a play where the person gets to really be voice-full

Cuddling up in my bed with flannel sheets, pillow case, and fleecy blankets

Running my fingers through the hair of my children right around their ears to put them to sleep

and that is just some things Iike, if I put thought into it :)

~Laura
