A song of peace

[twilight33]

my country's skies
are bluer than the ocean
and sunlight beams
on clover leaf and pine

but other lands
have sunlight too and clover
and skies are everywhere
as blue as mine

oh hear my song
oh god of all the nations
a song of peace
for their land and for mine
Edit: one of many versions of lyrics to the song Finlandia

In memory of 9/11. That horrible day made me question the sanity of having a child, yet Kieran still chose us loonies to come to shortly afterward. Nothing else in this world has been a greater reminder to me of hope for the future.

"Evil has a poison within itself that in the end destroys its own servants, but love, hope and faithfulness have the durability of truth and life on their side." - Earl Palmer, sr. pastor at UPC.

I *knew* those lyrics were familiar. I remember singing that in church! Your selection of lyrics is, as always, impeccable.

It's good to see the old Presbyterian hymns as well as strong coffee are universal ;) UPC doesn't have this version in the hymnal & sings another one I don't like as much!
