RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Another Day
Birds are singing in Beirut
In tribute to another day
Cicada in New Orleans
Bid welcome to the evening
Wolves howl in Wyoming
A prayer of yearning to the moon
Everywhere the morning sings
The evening sings refrain
Life in all its wonders awakens
Through the night and day
Even on the battlefield (Ukraine)
Even on the killing field (Sudan)
Even in a land of terror (Ethiopia)
Even in a lawless state (Columbia)
Nature rises to a bright new day
Singing harmonies of hope and faith
That this day will bring peace
That this day will awaken the spirit
Of brotherhood and generosity
That this day will end the war
That this day will silence the rage
That this day will give us the wisdom
To know that we are one
One people, one family, one planet
One miracle each day
