THE TIME OF LOVE

May in people’s imagination is traditionally connected with love, cheer, and spring birth. And thus since age-long times various celebrations and meetings in towns and countryside have been held.

The first of May is time of love in my country.

Traditionally, a boy would plant a May Tree in front of the house of the girl he fancied the night before May Day. The lucky girl would also get a kiss under a blossoming cherry tree that day.

" Dreams of Love "

Make that love from your heart forever true,

Follow all those dreams that come from you.

Express these feelings from your heart so deep,

With in your heart and soul that meet.

All that love from dreams, from the start,

Forever shows with in your heart.

Don't hide the dreams that come from you,

Share that love from dreams so true.

Express that love from dreams you know,

Those dreams of love so true will grow.

reply belita747 wrote on Apr 30, '09 Wow... Viera... what a beautiful and lovely tradition! I had never heard of anything like that, before. I wish I were younger and one of your fellow-citizens to have a chance to wake up on May 1 and see a newly planted tree in front of my house, assuming that someone would have done it, obviously!!!! Enjoy the long weekend. I suppose that May 1 is a National Day in Slovakia, right? Hugs, Belita
