(To the tune of Joyful, Joyful) Sing a song of joy and laughter happiness is never quelled Surrender to the happy after Misery is then times felled Sing out loud of hope and giving Living in the strength of day Take each moment for forgiving Learn to stand and watch and pray In the daylight see the sonlight Lift your hearts with echoing praise Turn and face, each day the one light That can keep you all your days Sing of faith you carry daily Lift your soul to feel the sun Then in pleasure trip on gaily Power of darkness is undone In the evening and the morning Feel the life course in your veins Learn to heed the spirit warning Forget sadness and its pains In the daylight see the sonlight Lift your hearts with echoing praise Turn and face, each day the one light That can keep you all your days Then will come eternal gladness Heart of hope will carry on Till we find the day of sadness Is banished with the quickening morn [This message has been edited by Kethry (04-27-2002 03:58 AM).] |

Keth darling sister of my heart and keeper of the nights silvered light, Thank you for posting this burst of beauteous angels song, a heart lifting soul washing dream of musical wonder. It flows through my heart like liquid light, perfect darling heart utterly utterly perfect. Didn’t I say this was special? Did I not say it was one of your utter best, did I not name you bringer of smiles and joy? Yes yes yes I did. Don’t you love me when I’m right, I’m always so self-effacing, so quiet, and I never say I told you so. Okay I fib a little, I do but only because it is all true Trust me darling heart…….. and don’t give me that you’re up to something Mushy look. Because you’ll see what you shall see Oh and yes beloved heart I love it, was there ever any doubt? No of course there wasn’t   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Oh, Kethry, this is sooo wonderful {{{sounding a little like Noah, LOL}}} I would have put it to that very tune even if no one had told me to. What an incredibly optimistic masterpiece..... I really mean that.... and it's how I feel 99% of the time. I really enjoyed this beautifully penned song of joy and its constant source. Love, Light and Peace, Sherry Cherish the good memories past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow. |

Well, I'll confess I'm not familiar with the tune... and wouldn't insult your beautiful words with my squawk if I did. *S* But this flows so perfectly it leaves music in my heart... Very uplifting... a great way to start the day. *S* Wonderful work, Kethry! |

Kethry, You may have heard a male chorus (thanks Michael)! It works so well it should be in a hymnal. Just awesome. Hope Balladeer slowed down for the majestic finish. LOL Thanks.  It's never too late to have a good childhood! Woohoo! |

Keth darling sister of heart and bringer of the mornings light I had to seek this out the pages of Passions so need this uplifting and beautiful lilting song of wonder. Your writing is so moving so beautiful that I’m left awed not knowing what to say. Absolutely excellent writing and you know I love this utterly utterly utterly You know I simply had to bring this back, this is a gift so rare and precious a ray of loves light to shine through when the night seems to stay too long.  Love and warm stuff As always Slushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |
