Love is Patient

I've learned that love is all kinds of things
Seldom is it linked to diamond rings.
A stranger peeling an orange and sharing a slice
In the heat of an afternoon.  Wow that was nice.

The sad look between patron and client passed
When neither understood and language didn't last.
The translator which assisted the next day
And a hand over heart and a smile each way.

Three stores to find the "American" item
And a great big hug when nowhere can buy them
A Facetime call when you needed a friend
Love across the miles electronically send.

A year of travels and certainly love
How lucky I am with this narrative wove.
