I have prayed – it is not my survival
Alone I pray for that would make no sense –
I am joined – a pair that knows no rival
Is my sole unity – and my defence
Its power, we believe, is finally God’s
Redeemed in love we overcome all odds.
Summer’s last day it might be said
Holidays end, soon schools return
Then for another spring we yearn...
They say the street is swept and cleaned by sunrise
At nine the traffic stops and blackbirds sing...
