The Song We Once Knew

It is a song that we grew up with A song which contains our hopes, joys and fears But the mists of time obscured our sight, our sensitivity The mists of time began to block the flow of chi But we persevered Once again our song shall be sung Over the land A bird wings its way home And we watch enchanted by the sight

Matthew, I love the image, "A bird wings its way home." Very clever, and the "song" in your poem (and our hearts) is one that we all live to share with others. Great work! And thanks for reading "Hungry and Homeless Americans." My Dad predicted last fall he would not live to see our nation's recovery. He was healthy, so I disregarded the comment. Now that he has passed away, the prediction haunts me. Love, Carolyn
