Poem of the Week
Upon the Green Field Sweet bliss in the air I lay in the vast, green field smiling ear to ear Because I know with him I have nothing to fear And today, like tomorrow I will have him near Near to protect, to comfort, to give strength that I may not find on my own Because though we all pretend to be strong sometimes we need strength to be loaned And as he is my heart, I am his light We are a part of each other’s being from day to night Coexisting in a world that screams of only
