HER SONG

Posted on February 25, 2019 by admin

Her song is a song of peace
And ginger bread and candy cane
And jelly beans and candy floss
Little kids and giant dreams
That grow up to be real

Her song is a song of praise
And flower gardens and pixy boys and girls
And fruit-filled trees and Tiger Lilies
Sweet Williams and a rose for love

Her song is a song of peace
And perfume and pretty girls
Polite wee boys and doting moms
Aunts, and uncles, who smell of snuff,
With soaking wet dogs, fluffy cats and stuff

So sing her song of lasting peace
Make jewellery gifts…and avarice release!
Peace will still our worried hearts
Pray that peace will never part

Sing her song of peace, of innocence
And strength, determination, will
To still the angry heart, the fighting words,
And spread the word, her song of peace

Her flowers paint their colors upon your eyes
Their intoxicating scent fills your heart with love
And her laughing eyes overflow your heart
With all the lyric sounds of her song of peace.

–H. W. Bryce
