What we've lost

When the worlds light has dimmed
When the worlds love has gone
Be there oh beautiful child of the moon
Bring light to their souls
Sing sweet songs of hope

Dear child of the sun
Bring their fears before them
Scare away the darkness
Make them not afraid

Dear child of the earth
Show them love
The love lost to you
Have you forgotten how?
Children of the valley deep
Show this world love
A love thats lost

Father forgive them
They know not what they do
Fear and hatred encompass all
But they do not make a man a man
The love and light from above
The soaring dove from heavens gates
Make a man

Wisdom comes with age
Hatred comes with ignorance
Violence comes with hate
Love comes from life
Man comes from love
The world cannot survive without love

So children of your mothers world
Wake up and bring back the light
Show the world
The things we have forgotten
Bring back the peace
To this broken world
Heal the wounds
One day we'll live
In a perfect place
Full of the earths children
Ready to sing songs of peace
Sing out children of this world gone wrong
Sing out your song
Let the world hear your voices
Let us all remember what we've lost

    Aaw, this was lovely - I'd love to hear it read out at a service, or something similar ... Im sure, with the right setting, it could sound very - magical, almost!

    Nice job, and best wishes for the contest

    What a song! Wouldn't that be the most lovely song you have ever heard!

    Thankyou for your submission to this contest, splendor,
    so splendor is found in each one of us? In the voices
    of our love, heartache and trust?
    This is a lovely poet song that really pulls on the
    imagery to polish the luster of splendor we once had.
    ears/Seattle thankyou, this helps.

    Very nice implication of Jesus' words, "Father forgive them". It really puts everything into proportion. Thanks for entering. =]

    this screams out love and hope. but even when a love is lost its not lost in your soul. Its locked in your cherished memories. excellent piece here, alot said! Good luck. This is well-deserving of a trophy!

    I am sorry I have to remove your poem from the contest, nothing against your work, but one of the rules is no more than 25 lines. Maybe you have another you would like to submit

    This one is so insightful...pointing out what the missing ingredients are; and this elicits or should elicit a huge sigh.

    Obviously, you've never heard me sing. Ahhh, what a lovely penning this is, Matt114...Thank you so much for your efforts in writing this for Carol's contest...One thing, though; Love, once found, is never lost...not even when the person leaves this earth...Love never, ever dies...I have had proof of it...Thank you for writing this soulful song...Be well, Poet...
