The Guardian

Today's poem last appeared on the blog in 2009 and is repeated today especially for 'Rose-Marie and Paul' whose first child, Damien, celebrates his first birthday today.
Regular readers will know that where religious-minded people like to think God is watching over us, I prefer to put my trust in Earth Mother.
Both points of view deserve respect, surely, since none of us can know for sure?
If only more people would agree to differ instead of fighting over who is right and who is wrong, the world would be a far happier and peaceful place!
Give peace a chance, yeah?

THE GUARDIAN
Where snow is falling snow on snow,
and the world is a lonely place,
a woman in white shall softly go,
and were we to see her face,
we would know she comes for us
Where acid rain defies flowers to grow,
and the world is a lonely place,
a woman in tears shall softly go,
and were we to see her face,
we would know she comes for us
Where summer breezes gently blow.
and the world is a lonely place,
a woman in green shall softly go,
and were we to see her face,
we would know she comes for us
Where autumn makes a splendid show,
and the world is a lonely place,
a woman in gold shall softly go,
and were we to see her face,
we would know she comes for us
Once loved ones gone, we ask to know
why the world is a lonely place?
It’s a woman called Hope tells us so,
and were we to see her face,
we would know she comes for us
Look where she comes and see her face;
let this world be a less lonely place
