Do I need a reason to love? Can I not love the beauty, That makes me happy and free? Is it not a common feeling, For me to love the beautiful city, Where I can be my true self? Ah, how fortunate it is for me, Such blissful blessings, To have this gorgeous land, Exist within my memories. Though dreadful deadliness Now stops me from reaching her, She has long possessed my heart I believe, and I sincerely do, That one day, I will return to her And, hopefully, be with her, forever.
Title of this poem is a reference to the Celtic Woman song "Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears"
