I'd like to dedicate this little poem to Heath. Well, it's not by me, but by German poet Erich Fried (1921-1988), and it is - of course - not about Heath, but about love (and therefore also about Heath):
Why
Not you
for love's sake
but
for your sake
love
(and also for my sake)
Not
Because I have to
love
But because I have to
love
you
Maybe
because I am
how I am
but certainly
because you are
how you are

Oops, sorry springrose, I just found out that Erich Fried is not from Germany, but from Austria, the country of your birth. (In fact, as a Jew he had to flee from Austria as soon as it became part of Germany in 1938.)

Oh, that's quite alright - LOL. Isn't it funny how sometimes people get all upset when Austria gets mixed up with Germany, vice versa? I'm not offended, don't worry. I was married to a German once...
