Peace One Day
PEACE ONE DAY
What innocence
might return to a child
who imagines Peace One Day
What soft light, in Bright eyes
when a child hears
yes, you can go outside to Play
For once
in all these troubled times
there will be no War today...
What innocence
might return to a child
who imagines Peace One Day ...

Mama Orlanda
MAMA ORLANDA
Our Mama - Orlanda
eccentric and authentic
always a Lady
...she had a way to be
color and light and free
She would say "everybody hey-
now listen to me:
chorus:
If you ever need
some bodies love, she said
remember me --
you'll see -----
you are and have always been
most deeply loved of human beings...
Embrace it and believe it!"
... embrace it and believe it ...
Our Mama- Orlanda
always a Lady
she had a way to see
everything inside of me -
And she would say ---
repeat chorus
- love Jo McKay
