Love this poem because the word love can be described and said in many ways that we never imagined could exist, or feel.
"Alohe OE"
its Meaning
Its more than just an easy word for casual good-bye;
Its gayer than a greeting and its sadder than a sigh;
It has the hurting poignancy, the pathos of a sob;
Its sweeter than a youthful heart's exquisite joyous throb;
Its all the tender messages that words cannot convey;
Its tears unshed, and longing for a loved one gone away;
Its welcome to Hawaii and its lingering farewell;
Its all the dear and silent things that lovers' lips can tell;
Its woven into flower leis and old Hawaiian songs;
Its frailer than a spider-web and strong as leather thongs;
Its fresh as dew on ginger blooms and older than the moon;
Its in the little lullabies that native mothers croon;
Its said a hundred different ways, in sadness and in joy;
Aloha means "I love you." So, i say "Aloha oe."
