Pretty Pictures, Ribbons and You

Pretty Pictures, Ribbons & You 

We each must take a step of faith in the right direction
 A soldier fighting in the field of grass lives another day
 Something to be grasped amidst the madness of outside
 Words that are expressed in the night have come to light
 A full pledge as we take part in the dance
 Pretty pictures fancy ribbons & you
 Perhaps we as a nation have bitten off more then we could chew
 A dance in the light of a delightful day
 We humbly bow the knee to pray
 Many people sow discord in the hearts of others
 There is no true love anymore for our brother
 In light of eternity this day is far spent
 A light that evokes a twilight appeal to family & friends
 Happy as a lark in the meadow looking for food
 Radiant nights with moon fall all a glow
 The pitter patter of soft sandaled feet
 Pretty pictures, ribbons & you 
 Nothing borrowed or blue
 Bask in the vast array of love from above
 A look deep inside for we have nothing to ever hide
