France

A poem about the recent events in France...

We mourn all the loses
We say our goodbyes
But nothing is over
We speak what's on our minds
And nobody can stop us
The matter is beyond us
So together we all sing

"Vous n'êtes pas allé.
Votre esprit vit.
Vous ne serez jamais oublié.
Nous ferons de notre mieux pour apporter la paix."

Most of the world
Is here for you
Right by your side
Never to go
Always to stay
All throughout time
So together we all sing

"No estás muerto.
Su espíritu vive.
Usted nunca será olvidado.
Intentaremos nuestro mejor para traer la paz."

Even if you fall
Or take a tumble
We'll raise you back up
So gather the people
Too many's not enough
This is what we need
So together we all sing

"Non sei andato.
ll tuo spirito vive.
Lei non sarà mai dimenticato.
Cercheremo il nostro meglio per portare pezzo."

Reaching out
Touching hearts
Pain that seeps
Through all of us
We need to be
Together as one
So once more we sing

"You are not gone.
Your spirit lives on.
You will never be forgotten.
We will try our bests to bring peace."

And one last thing
To end and begin
A new chapter awaits
For all of us here
The title is made up of
Three strong words
So this time we chant...

"Tout est pardonné.

Todo está perdonado.

Tutto è perdonato.

All is forgiven."

Remarkable poem Cool Girl ! ... beautiful wording even though I don't understand French :-) but it's absolutely has a good flow in it .
We'd stand together hand in hand to assuage grievances and fight evil !
Very good poem !

[Cool Girl]

Thank you so much, Mary! I am so glad that you enjoyed my poem:)

[Elie Marie]

maybe it's "vous n'etes pas partis"
with the accents but i cant do those on my laptop.

[Cool Girl]

Okay I'll check that out.. :)

[Elie Marie]

Love it. Great poem. I loved the flow of the entire piece. I could imagine someone, as I read, singing the words out on a silver tongue. Thank you!

[Cool Girl]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it. You're welcome:)

Very good poem. We all do need each other to make it through this life that we live in. If we live all our lives selfishly then what have we really accomplished. Its about others and helping them, loving them. Thanks for sharing

[Cool Girl]

Thanks so much for taking the time to review!

You exude a profundity that easily makes one question:

"How can someone so young, and inevitably naive to new experiences, experience so passionately, and then convey that in a way all age groups can relate?"

Keep writing you!

[Cool Girl]

Haha. Thanks so much, Riley! I have no idea how I came to write this piece. It started with an idea to write about what happened in France. But I really wanted it to be about the world being affected too. I guess that's how I came up with the idea of writing in different languages.... I'm really glad you liked it! Since it's different from what I normally write, I didn't know if people would enjoy it as much. Thanks, again, for all the support:)

Amazing work! Although I used a translator to figure out what those parts in the other language meant... :P Anyway, beautiful work and so resonating with the basic human nature to get up after every calamity. Supporting each other, stumbling but making efforts to stand steady. And then after some time, life picks the pace again. I loved how you wrote it. :)

[Cool Girl]

Thanks:)

(I used a translator too xD)

[Moonlight]

I see! :D XD
