I want to hear the stormwalkers
sing the tune of 1945,
a tune of hope and strength
spun from the 'Carousel' of Life,
when hope was in the air.
The war was over,
a new day had begun.
"Walk on, walk on"
they sang, lifting their heads high.
Rodgers and Hammerstein
wrote for us then;
who writes of hope
for us today?

"You'll never walk alone."

I love that song,
but find it difficult to sing
those lyrics today.
Please, GOD,
don't make us walk the plank alone.

You just wrote for us....and now maybe someone else will do the same. Your so right about that feeling of being alone...it's a little too frightening.

Very Well Done!!!! this write.

Thought provoking write, Kacy...unsettled times in the recent past and looming in the near future...but when the rhetoric is done and the final position taken...the Brits,Canucks and Aussies will stand with you...I have no doubt..

believe in what your heart feels...

Thanks to each of you for being here with me, for some days, this is the only site I visit where I find any semblance of hope for the human race.
