Anywhere else we rather be <br />Even if we could hear the voice of our mother again <br />And see her face <br />Anywhere else we rather be <br />Where is no violence but peace and quiet <br />Here on earth it is very difficult to find peace and quiet <br />Anywhere else we rather be <br />Writing poetry <br />Filling that empty pages of our note books with poetry <br />Some people might think that we are a powerless poet <br />Anywhere else we rather be <br />Sleeping in a warm bed in the night <br />Anywhere else we rather be <br />Taking a ride in the car through the valley of San Francisco <br />Anywhere else we rather be watching the sky at night <br />Anywhere else we rather be picking up the wild flowers from the valley Of San Francisco <br />Anywhere else we rather be holding hands and walking together <br />Anywhere else we rather be praying <br />Anywhere else we rather be singing <br />The songs of praise<br /><br />Aldo Kraas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/anywhere-else-we-rather-be/
