The rain is falling down
On my new hat and
It shrunk with a sigh
Dripping rain water in my eye
Now I look like a soggy wet cat.

It's raining again and
The rain came a pouring so fast
And the rain natures gentle call
With a splash and a squish
The rain continues to fall and
The soothing rhythm of the rain
Water sinking in the Lord's ground.

Smile from
The heart
And the ones
Who truly love
You will smile back.

She danced with pure delight
And passion in her heart tonight
And with a skip and a twirl
She gave the world a swirl
And she shone ever so bright.

A sweet little kiss on the breeze
And my heart beats with ease
Brought warmth like a sunlit tease
I'm truly in love with you And
With laughter it flew
I'm madly in love with you
And as my love gently grew
A moment of joy that will please
Because I love you.

Lord Jesus Christ has a
Heart of gold he cares deeply
About everyone and wants us all
To copy him and to love each other
And we need him more than ever
Right now but unfortunately some
People refuse to believe in you
God Lord Jesus Christ who I truly love
And I hope everyone around the world
Will open there heart's before it's to late
Don't let Satan take control of your heart's
Sinful habits and ****** urges are hard to push away I pray you come back to the Lord and let him into your heart's before its to late believe in the Lord Jesus Christ one God one King anyone else is FAKE Lord Jesus Christ is the only way in life forever and always we love you Lord Jesus Christ Amen.

In Yemen where the sun shines bright
And the day was always
Filled with pure delight
American bombs are
Dropping on Yemen tonight
As evil fills the air
$600 Million American dollars
Is blown everywhere
And laughter fills the air and
It's a gem in the world's warm light.

Resorting to Twitter
Shows signs of American
Desperation.

A loving night
Two lover's kiss
All through the night
And true love fills
The air tonight and
A guiding star that turns
The dark to bright and
With every glance
A silent vow is made and
A fortress built on trust
And tender grace and
In every touch a warm
And steady hand and
In every smile the joy of
Love's embrace and
True love's magic conquers
Every fear.

In the dark shadows a story is told
Of dreams never coming true
Darkness and evil all around
A land of hope yet veiled in evil
Where whispers linger
And the truth about
Palestine disappears

Tall towers rise but shadows creep
Promises broken as children weep
Yet in the dark night a spark can glow
For change can blossom if we sow.

Drew we all loved you and
You painted the sky so blue
With a brush in your hand
You created a grand
A world wide awake
Bright and true.

A slimy slug in my garden
He left a trail where he wanted to go
On a lettuce he dined and
He took a nap on his way
And I said oh slug no no no.

In shadows deep
Where silent whispers dwell
A scary hitman on his way and
Each target marked
A ghostly dance of fate
A scary hitman on his way
No remorse felt and
No sorrow in his eyes
A single shot a life
Now put to sleep
The scary hitman has left the scene
A silent killer fueled by chilling fear.

A butterfly danced in
The morning sunlight
With colours so
Beautiful and bright
It flitted with grace
In the warm open space
A joy that could brighten and stun.

Upon a leaf a tiny crawler creeps
A fuzzy worm with munching jaws so keen
Oh little caterpillar Oh little caterpillar
And the little birds chase you and you
Wiggle and hide away and
With stripes of green it weaves
Through light of day
Oh little caterpillar we truly love you
With colours bloom in shadows of the night
And your beauty taking flight
Oh little caterpillar we love you
The caterpillar sheds its earthly plight
To flutter free with elegance and pace
Preparing for a change a mystery
A woven shell a slumber deep inside
Oh little caterpillar we love you
And you bring joy to everyone
So remember this story if you can
Of the caterpillar who found
Comfort and ease
He ate all he could
Like every caterpillar should and
He flew away in the gentle warm breeze.

In a vineyard where juicy grapes grow
And the wine will always flow
They shimmer and shine in a row
With a pop and a crunch
They make quite a lunch
Sweet treasures that steal the show.

A little donkey and he
carries burdens and
Hevnever sighs and
He'd flap his big ears
And yawn and
Dispelling all fears and
Then happily wander away.

A clever little
Raccoon wanderer
Of the dark night a
Shadow in the trees and
A little scavenger with
Food on his mind and
His sweet antics
Nature finds its grace.

Falling in love under the
Moonlight as it shines so bright and
Two hearts beat in perfect harmony
All through the starry night and
With a smile and a glance
They fell deep in romance and
In a world filled with love and pure light.

In the land of Palestine
Where olive trees sway
And little children used to play
And flowers bloom in the light of day
With dreams that unite
They stand for what's right
And Palestine was alive
In the 5th century BCE and
In Palestine bright futures hold sway.

Her life was stolen a brutal end
Justice delayed a slow cruel end
And little Hind Rajab killed and
Her body lay a stark and silent thing
Beneath the weeping willow's gentle sway

And her blood flowing everywhere
As evil fills the air and the
The killer escapes a coward's bend
And on the streets we stop and pray
A life once bright now she rests beneath
The stars every night and
A silent scream a life in vain
****** never ending in Palestine
And it's a terrible shame and
The memories of Hind Rajab
Will never fade away and your
Smile is deep in our hearts every day
And you where so pure and sweet and
Your country Palestine mourns your loss
And hearts that beat now carry heavy chains And we truly miss you Hind Rajab
And every night I light a candle just for you
And for every silent cry that meets the dawn
A question lingers echoing in vain
And Hind Rajab we will forever and always remember you.

In a grave where you stay
Lies a fellow who was killed
Said RIP in a sorrowful way
The flowers all wept
While the mourners all prayed
And the angels flew
Heavenward away.

A flower so small and sweet
Smiling petals soft and neat
A splash of colours so bright and bold
A story to be told and this
Little flower so small and neat
A breath of beauty everywhere.

A spiky hedgehog
Rolled up in a ball
With spikes so sharp
He scurried away
In a hurry today and
In the morning sunlight
He scuttled away to his thrall.

In a land where olive trees swayed
And little children used to play where
Hope bloomed bright in Palestine
Every night and voices echo in the air and
Little Palestinian children everywhere
A story unfolds we're told
Of conflict and strife
No happiness in Palestine tonight and
In Palestine's heart dreams won't fray.

The holocaust in Palestine
And little children just dying
And everyone is crying and
I feel your pain deep in my heart
And families torn apart
Just like petals blown apart and
In bitter winds of fate alone
Palestinian stories etched
In hearts so brave
In memory's light their spirits save

And we will remember the
Dead Palestinians the lost the slain
Their lives extinguished all in vain
And evil walks among us every day
No happiness and peace today and
The nightmare will never be
Over and a hateful creed
Unleashed upon the earth
A history etched in shadows lost to light
And from the ashes may there bloom
Suffering Palestinians just dying for hate
To empathy compassion's grace
To build a future free from hate's embrace
Black and brown people been killed
A world reborn where love will bloom
And banish darkness and hate chase away the gloom.

In Palestinian fields
Where olive trees stand tall
In the morning sunlight and
A whisper calls for freedom's thrall
Freedom for Palestine oh freedom
With hopes like stars in the night sky
I weep for your every day and I
Light a candle for Palestine every night
We dream of peace we long to fly

From the dark shadows
Our voice will echo around the world
For every heart the truth defies
A land of dreams where all are free
Together we can build a sea.

In Somalia where the
Sun shines so bright
And the little children
Have fun in the morning sun
With coastlines that gleam
In the sunlight and
From the hills to the sea
It's a beautiful sight and Somalia
A land wild and free
So beautiful for all to see and
A tapestry woven with delight.

On Independence day everyone
Is from Zimbabwe today and

In the dawn’s embrace we stand tall
And proud and our voices united as
One loving nation and from the our
Struggles and our past we rise with pride
In freedom's light we choose to glide and
Zimbabwe's freedom will echo
Around the world

And Zimbabwe colours are so
Beautiful and bright and they sparkle
In the sky every night and our
Hearts are beating strong
On this very special day and
Zimbabwe the land of hope
And everlasting dreams in
Every soul our independence gleams

And Zimbabwe our nation will forever soar
So raise a glass on Independence day
And let the celebrations flow
For Zimbabwe's freedom will forever glow

And the Zimbabwe flag will
Fly high up in the clear blue sky and
A testament to freedom's gentle breeze
And Zimbabwe is forever inside our heart's

And so let unity's spirit forever
Grow and Zimbabwe
Our country a rising star
And reaching for the sky and beneath
Our nation's flag and forever
And always Zimbabwe
Our spirits will always fly high.

On Sunday we worship
Our Lord Jesus Christ and
With whispers of hope and rebirth
From shadows a light Lord Jesus
Christ rose from the dead
Left the stone for his bed
In glory so bright
I love you with all my
Heart Lord Jesus Christ
A promise of life endless worth.

In Yemen where shadows lay thick
A land with a fate that feels sick
With war and sorrow and pain
Years of war day and night
Homes blown up tonight
And little children get a
Terrible fright bombs all night
The cries of children's pain
A mournful sound and little children's
Silence screams every night
And from American bombs
And American shells from fear and dread
The Yemeni people to find
Their peace among the dead.

A little turtle as
Cute as can be and he
Winked at me and he
Sailed away on a lilly
Pond of bright blue and
With a flip of his tail
He sailed away under the
Sky so blue and he
Slipped neath a leaf unseen
As the lilies danced gently
In the perfect view.

In Yemen where the sun shines bright
And the people are full of love in life
And the markets bustle with pure delight
Hot spices flow through the air
And the warmth of love is everywhere
And Yemen a land filled with
Culture and light.

She worked hard with all of her might
But she got sacked tonight and
Everyone got a terrible fright
With a sigh and a frown
She packed her bags and left town  
And set off to dance through the night.

As the sun dips below the sea
And the colorful rainbow
Dances wild and free and
They paint the clouds
With a golden glow and
The butterflies will flow
And it's a beautiful sight  
And ending our day's delight
In the twilight all is at peace
Tonight.

In Iran where the
Sun shines bright and
Ancient tales dance
Under the stars tonight and
Iranian carpets so bright
A magnificent sight
And the old winding lanes
Is so beautiful and precious and
Iran a land rich in history and light.

In the dark shadows
Where evil whispers
And danger lurks in Iran and
A head of state making threats
But Iranian courage will take flight
And chase away the evil tonight
And no peace will be found and
A shadow falls a threat hangs in the air
Iranian anger grows a burden hard to bear.

There once was a doctor named Lila Abassi
And she was truly dedicated to her work
And she made all her patients feel free and
With a smile on her face and
She worked for a very long time and
Her healing hands a gentle touch so light
And she'd lighten their stare and
Her laughter was pure as could be.

I always thought
Israel was a proxy
State of the United States
I soon realised that the
United States was a
Proxy state of Israel.

On Mother's day you tell her
How much you love her today
With hugs and laughter we hold dear
Mother forever inside my heart
And with this card made with love
Just for you like a blessing from above
To celebrate moms we revere.

A couple happy as can be
In love you and me and
Life's joys were ahead
With love as our guide
Two hearts entwined
A love profound and
Our future is bright
A happy life snuggled in bed.

In the heart of Bethlehem
Peace whispers and hopes abide
Fields of olive, skies of blue
Little children have so much
Fun too and dreams came true

And peace and love flourish
Echoes of happiness in Palestine
A tapestry of past and present
In each tear drop a life a lesson

In 1950's Palestine 86% of Christians
Lived in perfect harmony and
Then a struggle born darkness
Of the night evil rose without sight
Yet amidst the pain our spirit shines
Bright and in Palestine where hope entwines.

Standing back and doing
Nothing makes everyone
Complicit in
A genocide.

In the dark shadows where
Palestinian happiness fades away
A tale of death and sorrow every day
And once beautiful and bright
Now everything is in darkness and
Silent whispers lost in fright
Another Palestinian child killed tonight

Innocence Palestinians slaughtered
Hearts heavy carry the weight of the world
A garden once filled with dreams
So beautiful and bright like the 1900
Where peace and love flowed
Now a scar where hopes abide

It's another dead Palestinian child and

And we'll never let forget use and
The echoes of your childhood
A haunting regret evil and death and
In unity we stand to honor their voice
In love and remembrance and
Everyone around the world
Must stand with everlasting
Peace and love forever Palestine.

Let us pray
For the Palestinians
Who are been murdered
Every day and in the shadows
Where Evil lurks and little
Children cry and a tale of
Dark deeds does inspire
With a heart turned to stone
And a fate overthrown and
The echoes of evil won't tire
Until every Palestinian is dead.

A pink rose in the morning dew
With petals so fresh and so new
And it's smile so bright
Bringing happiness to
All our hearts in life and
A symbol of love and a
Delightful and charming sight.

In my heart it's pure and true
And I softly whisper I love you
And I smile and I glance at you
And our hearts share a dance and
In a dream that feels perfectly true.

You've taken my land
And my home and my freedom
But you'll never take
My Beating heart
Free Palestine.

Holding hands with
You makes my skip a beat and
I found love in the soft morning light
Smiling at you so bright and
Hands held so tight
And true love is in the air tonight
And together will stand and
With you beside me my life is blessed
And my soul finds peace my spirit rest
And forever and always
Your my true love your my guiding star
Forever loved no matter far.
