A Fine Sunday Morning In May

The nature of the leaves praising thee On this fine Sunday morn’ the church are we Each one as we do our bit in the sun That shines through the pane lighting our knees Songs, like the breeze, move us To care for those who join us Barely a city or town between us bon amis* Our steepled hands, sealed eyes aloft Generosity of mind and spirit, toward our God and fellow man How warmly greets this third day of May a peaceful quarantine A quaint building at rest awaits our crestal voices The blessings of a room filled to overflowing Like a bride’s exorbitant train, pure and angel white The groom grinning ear to ear. Guests dabbing their eyes Shall we be as we arrive on that jubilant day The doors thrown open with prayer, with praise

Almost nothing moves me as much as music. "Songs, like the breeze, move us To care for those who join us" - wow!
