Flowers of Love

Well it ain't a gonna be as long now as it has been
I got a feelin' that me and love are in tune
And it ain't a gonna be as long now as it has been
Somewhere the flower of love is waitin' to bloom

Sunshine and laughter just over the hill all I got to do is climb
Someone is waitin' true love to give waiting over on the other side

it ain't a gonna be as long now as it has been
Somewhere the flower of love is waitin' to bloom

~ Lynn Anderson from Flowers of love

the bird

"I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone."

Many know this quote is from a cult classic Hollywood movie "Shawshank Redemption".

 But Few know that the story was based from a novella called Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King, from his collection Different Seasons (1982). It was adapted for the screen in 1994 as The Shawshank Redemption, which was nominated for seven Academy Awards in 1994, including Best Picture
