WOMEN KEEP LOVE AND PEACE ALIVE
Today, tomorrow, always
in all seasons, decades centuries, even in the darkest of times
women increase their love, keep it strong to lift the world out of its misery.
Today, tomorrow our love multiplies with affection, active love,
protective, sincere, passionate, honest and blessed.
Our love's fullness grows goodness to heal us and the world
to heal our wounded planet. Alert day and night
on a motorway of patience and determination
alert to nurture our children’s lives with love
to feed our husbands confidence and support
our children, mothers and fathers.
In our hearts and our minds, we plant daily
in the earth of our hearts, prayers for World Peace.
We kneel on the Earth, the Earth we spray with our tears, love and thankfulness.
The universe absorbs our joy and tears, our prayers fill the cosmos with love!
Oh God, hear all mothers, wives, daughters, hear our prayers for Peace.
Stop the wars, let goodness grow in us, Oh God.
Today, tomorrow, always
I, we stand against all aggression, wars, nuclear and conventional.
I, we, women stand against oppression, drugs and their lords,
we stand against the abusers of children, media poison,
we stand against intimidation, against evil.
Today, tomorrow, always, I pray for forgiveness, compassion
World Peace and true love.
