I. The Playground
God bless the children
to always play together-
ev’ry race, creed, and color, holding hands forever.
II. Simple Math
Two men of differing hues
met as enemies
+ departed as friends
= HOPE!
III. Family
In a world where hate pollutes the air,
where people are unfair,
The time has come
to live as one
before all hope is gone.
As a family,
united as one,
will stand second to none
..........as a family.
As a family,
true peace we will find-
leave our quarrels behind
...........and be a family.
Come! ye people
of every race-
from ev’ry climate
and every place!
Let’s all join hands
and rise above
needless troubles
on wings of LOVE.
​
Bon appétit.🥗
