☀️ The Daily Boost #891

This is my wish

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, plus water-drops of wisdom. Most everything here is free, but patrons (paid subscribers) get some special perks as a gesture of gratitude.

THIS IS MY WISH
Kevin Ross

This is my wish
My wish for the world
That peace will find its way
To every boy and girl
This is the time
The time for harmony
Let love be the song
That everybody sings

Refrain:
Fill the air with joyful noise
Ring the bells and raise your voice
Let there be peace on earth
Let there be peace on earth
Lift your light and let it shine
Shine, shine, shine
Let every voice be heard
Let there be peace on earth

I hear the sweetest sound
The sound of hope to come
Together we could bring
Good will to everyone
Let it start with you
Let it start with me
Let every nation arise
To sing this melody

Refrain

(My thanks to Double Take and the songwriter.)
