Warbler's Call For Peace (Warbler's Prayer) I listened to a WARBLER Perched high a-top a tree. The thrilling notes she sang, Meant more than song to me. They were a call for world PEACE From PEACEFUL warbler bird: Who wished its little voice, Could everywhere be heard. New wars and strife could cease, When people all united; PEACE signs placed every corner, World-wide, both day and night. We humbly pray, "We love you, GOD grant your precious gift; PEACE to every nation. Hear WARBLER'S CALL for PEACE". I listened to a WARBLER< Perched high a-top a tree, The thrilling notes she sang, Meant WARBLER'S PRAYER to me.

My Friends My FRIENDS are the lovely rainbows, With blue, green, yellow, crimson hues; The watchful shepherd dog which barks - The lonely pussy cat that mews. MY FRIENDS are the playful dolphins, That play in oceans, marinas. Beaver, creatures of the forests; Nomads who live in bivouacs. I've heard of pygmies, giants, gypsies: They live in far off, sunny lands. Reindeer, antelope and gazelles; Damsels in ballerinas, showing wands. MY FRIENDS are the stars in heaven, Stars, skating movies, video. Singers, bouquets, birds and sunsets, I see wherever I must go. .

Chain of Love There's CHAIN OF LOVE, That goes round and round; To the ends of the world; Wherever friends are found. The long CHAIN OF LOVE, Pretty CHAIN OF LOVE. Loves wanes like sweet music; Every heart beat, every sound; With long CHAIN OF LOVE, True love is forever bound. Send the CHAIN OF LOVE, Comes down from above. Cupid gives me a friend; I'm happy 'til the end.
