Good Will In Prayers

Good Will In Prayers

Had a mighty mission that we must fulfil
Which was the spreading of good will,
All around whole world and back again,
Wherever we lived, travelled or had been.

Heard good will in sermon priest did preach;
On shore of ocean where seagulls screech;
Where I heard birds sing and saw a butterfly;
And buzzing bees who on for honey did rely.

There was much good will in prayers I said,
Always at church when people were wed;
Present when children played in a park,
And even in reality that seemed so stark.

What I liked best about God's good will,
Peace had been with it not receiving a bill;
Felt it in some shells I found in the sand,
And in Bible He does help us understand.
