Happy Valentine's Day

This is my late Valentine's Day contribution everyone.....I have recently been reading in several magazines about the chemicals of love and relationships in the modern day world. Yet I believe that love is something that should simply be accepted on faith because it has no explanation, it simply is.....

On the other side of it, I do not advocate infatuation or obsession. It saddens me when people are willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a single holiday to prove their undying love to the current boyfriend or girlfriend, yet are unwilling to spare a moment in time in love for their fellow man....

Bonny Swans

A farmer lived in the north country
a hey ho and a bonny o
he had daughters, one, two, three
the swans swim so bonny o
these daughters they walked by the river's brim
a hey ho and a bonny o
the eldest pushed the youngest in
the swans swim so bonny o

Sister, sister, pray lend me your hand
a hey ho and a bonny o
and I will give you house and land
the swans swim so bonny o
I'll give you neither hand nor glove
a hey ho and a bonny o
Unless you give me your own true love
the swans swim so bonny o

Sometimes she sank and sometimes she swam
a hey ho and a bonny o
until she came to a miller's dam
the swans swim so bonny o
The miller's daughter dressed in red
a hey ho and a bonny o
came for some water to make a bread
the swans swim so bonny o

Oh father, oh daddy, here swims a swan
hey ho and a bonny o
It's very like a gentle woman
the swans swim so bonny o
They placed her on the bank to dry
hey ho and a bonny o
There came a harper passing by
the swans swim so bonny o

He made harp pins of her fingers fair
hey ho and a bonny o
He made harp strings of her golden hair
the swans swim so bonny o
He made a harp of her breast bone
hey ho and a bonny o
And straight it began to play alone
the swans swim so bonny o

He brought it to her father's hall
hey ho and a bonny o
And there was the court, assembled all
the swans swim so bonny o
He laid the harp upon a stone
hey ho and a bonny o
And straight it began to play alone
the swans swim so bonny o

There does sit my father the King
hey ho and a bonny o
And yonder sits my mother the Queen
the swans swim so bonny o
And there does sit my brother Hugh
hey ho and a bonny o
And by him, William sweet and true
the swans swim so bonny o
And there does sit my false sister, Anne
hey ho and a bonny o
Who drowned me for the sake of a man
the swans swim so bonny o
