Dance My Children Dance daisy chains of children in fields outside of Haight Dance my pretty children for your reality awaits Dance free today for your destiny has not been seen. So, dance my pretty children in psychedelic field of green Dance my pretty children as Jimi’s flaming Fender play A soulful song of Mary among fields of straw and hay And dance as Janice prays for her Mercedes Benz Then sings of a broken heart to all her pretty friends Dance among the wildflowers Skip in lemon yellow sun For eve’s tangerine sky May yet melt everyone Dance my pretty children Speak while you are young Reality’s ‘round the corner to bind freedom’s tongue Meditate my young ones on our country’s plight Lil' boys being slaughtered in fields where they fight Then weep my children for our savior is dead Some assassin’s bullet put a hole in his head Now dance my pretty children in fields outside of Haight Yes, dance my pretty children for it’s 1968 Then sing your song free, flowers in your hair Dance my pretty children for you haven’t got a care [This message has been edited by Patricia (06-22-2003 05:36 PM).] |

Credence Clearwater Revival...The Grateful Dead....and others...all part of the times when war was war and peace was love... Brings back a few memories... Thanx Patricia, excellent vision of a past that I won't soon forget...being a warrior then. |

Loved this bit of de ja vu Patricia. Youth is but a fleeting moment in time. Sadly....no one could have told us then what we know now. *applause* [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (06-22-2003 06:42 PM).] |

Oh Patricia, I'm dancing and singing to your words that have transported me back in time. And my friend, what a momentous time it was and will never be again. A pure delight and it's a keeper ...

An exceptionally fine write, Dear Patricia! You captured the hearts and imaginations of your readers. Your writing really appeals to me on so many levels. The ease of the read with the wonderfully lyrical rhythms, the descriptive imagery, the messages inherent in them, and the touches of heart and soul. You are a fine poetess!  Loves 'n hugs, Linda |

Patricia: I bow to you humbly . . . How I missed this write I have NO idea Ahhh to have seen Janis and Jimi (look where I live) and I always wanted my picture taken on the corner of Haight-Ashbury. I always tell my mom I should have been a Woodstock baby. I have this sick fascination with the sixties and Vietnam. I loved this Beautiful job Patricia just amazing xxoo |
