The dove is here, let her fly

Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.” NKJV Genesis 1:20
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                     Birds flew east
                                     Birds flew west
                                    Birds flew south
                                    Birds flew north
              Singing to St Francis, singing in Praise of Lord
              Flying with zest, singing in love at dawn, at dusk
              Cheerful in song, cheerful in all praise of Savior 
                                    Birds fly again
                                  Fly east, fly west
                                 Fly north, fly south
                              Birds do fly again now
                            Again, do again, it is time
                             For you to preach praise
                              To sing in Lord’s name
                             Teach all to spell Peace
                             “He didn’t suffer in vain”
                             Let the world know this 
                             The truth very precious
                            "Peace! Be still!"Jesus said
                            To calm the wind and sea
                            Let miracle happen again
                            Let there be calm hearts
                            Let there be peace again
                           In hearts of young and old
                          In every home around world
                          I believe in His miracles, I do
                         I believe He brings Peace, I do
                        Let birds that breathe and sing
                      Fly below heavens, rejoice in peace

I am grateful to you for your kind visit dear poet. Thank you. Happy Christmas. I opine, if there was an abundance of living creatures, specially birds that are very sensitive to climate change meant everything about the Earth is OK. No wars, let there be peace. Thank you.
