Inspired by the spirit of “The Rose” and the soul of Janis Joplin—love, raw and real.

“I Say Love”

by Shoshana

Some say love

It is a mountain

A strength that doesn’t crack.

Some say love

It has no borders,

No pain and no lack.

I say love

Without resistance

Is what’s needed

For our existence.

Some say love

Is our reactions—

It’s not what’s said,

It’s in one’s actions.

Some say love—

Stronger than steel

Or any diamond—

It’s all that’s real.

I say love

It’s hope, it’s grace—

The gift we take

When we leave this place.

It’s with love

We face this journey,

Sometimes alone,

Until guided home.
