WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME Will you still love me When I grow old and gray? Will you still recall The young girl You carried away As your bride On a rainy day In Fall? Will you still hold me tight Like on our wedding night? Or, will you forget The first day we met In Summer When roses were blooming And birds were singing? Will our cheerful laughter Still be ringing in your ears? Will you still remember All the happy years We spent together? Please keep the glowing light In your heart, for me forever.

MY LOVE FOR YOU IS My love for you Is like a mountain stream A constant uninterrupted stream My love for you Is like the sun's eternal glow Or like the sea, never at rest. Gentle and forceful waves Crossing endlessly its open breast. My love for you is like a tree Rooted in the heart True love belong to eternity And never fall apart

RESURRECTION Bury me Under the old willow tree.. With dry earth, cover me... Place then the tombstone... I will remain alone Dead flesh and bone... Come back sometime later. In my place You will find a red flower... Pick me up, take me home. Place me in the fresh, cool water... Let me live again with you For a few more days.. Then, throw me away When my petals and stem Will decay...
