My favorite song is “Edelweiss”. I heard this song for the first time on the movie “The Sound of Music”. The sound of Music was the first foreign movie I had watched. At that time I was thirteen years old and that movie impressed me with beautiful songs and scenes. The main character, Captain von Trapp sang this song in the movie with his own lips. After I watched “The sound of Music”, I became to know the flower, edelweiss. Edelweiss is a white flower found high in the Alpine hills and usually grows inaccessible places. I hoped that someone gave it to me. My father bought it for me, but I disappointed that edelweiss was a tiny and ugly flower. I am not sure what Captain von Trapp meant by edelweiss. Maybe it is his country or his lover. What I mean by edelweiss is my own happiness which nobody has. I usually sing this song at the happy morning.

I think Edelweiss is the national flower of Austria. So when he sings, "...may you bloom and grow...bloom and grow forever...", he's actually talking about his country.
Jamie likes Sound of Music, too. I didn't know so many people liked watching old American musicals.
From the picture, I don't think edelweiss is a tiny and ugly flower, anyway.
