A BETTER PLACE

There needs to be a place of rest
that has never been to war.

There needs to be, both bird and beast
who have never heard the gun.

There needs to be a quiet tree
that grows forevermore.

There needs to be a resting place
at the setting of the Sun.

… always the river, my love!
… always the night of stars and sky!

There will always be our love to keep
forever!

You and I
