We thank God for the gift <br />of earth's magic mantle, <br />the 'mid-atlantic rift' <br />and water music by Handel. <br /> <br />Rejoice oh friends of the earth sea and sky, <br />After the stormy winds, heaven is nigh. <br />Luminous stars will glow in the night <br />With a dash and a flash of picturesque light. <br /> <br />Rejoice all ye people, as little birds fly. <br />As well as the emerald, diamonds will shine. <br />To neglect our dear planet, we cannot afford <br />And we pray for guidance from our Lord. <br /> <br />Rejoice everyone, for the sun and the rain <br />And romantic chords of a top-notch refrain <br />Sweet doves in love may hamper our way with <br />A dash and a flash, but they bring love in May. <br /> <br />We thank God for the gift <br />of earth's magic mantle, <br />the 'mid-atlantic rift' <br />and water music by Handel.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rejoice-5/
