Oh, for brighter days!

The Daily Boost (published weekdays) is one of the newsletters of The Raft, the online community of author Phyllis Cole-Dai. We Rafters ride the river of life buoyed by music, poetry, and other arts, along with open spiritual practice. Most everything here is free, but patrons (paid subscribers) get some special perks because Phyllis is extra grateful for their support. Sign up here:

SEND US BRIGHTER DAYS
Eric Bibb & Habib Koité

Send us brighter days
Send us blue skies
Send us healing ways to live
Send us, if you please, more time

We have been foolish so long
Treating each other so bad
Wasting all the gifts you give
Making this old world so sad

Envoyez-nous des jours meilleurs
Envoyez-nous des ciels bleus
Envoyez-nous sur le chemin
Envoyez-nous, s'il vous plaît, plus de temps

Send us brighter days
Send us blue skies
Send us healing ways to live
Help us in our heart
Forgivе

  
(My thanks to Eric Bibb and Ulrika Bibb.)
