Calling My Name

I heard her callin' my name
or something
that sound the same
waited so long
for a sign
that she would be mine.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes...
This is a, such a surprise!

Oh, am I dreamin'?
Can't be real.
How I felt,
how I feel.
And next to me,
there is she,
and her eyes
they are bonnie.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes...
This is a, such a surprise!

I heard her callin' my name
or something
that sound the same
waited so long
for a sign
that she would be mine.

Poem of the moment:

Children of the Sun

WE are children of the sun,
Rising sun!
Weaving Southern destiny,
Waiting for the mighty hour
When our Shiloh shall appear
With the flaming sword of right,
With the steel of brotherhood,
And emboss in crimson die
Liberty! Fraternity!

We are the star-dust folk,
Striving folk!
Sorrow songs have lulled to rest;
Seething passions wrought through wrongs,
Led us where the moon rays dip
In the night of dull despair,
Showed us where the star gleams shine,
And the mystic symbols glow—
Liberty! Fraternity!

We have come through cloud and mist,
Mighty men!
Dusk has kissed our sleep-born eyes,
Reared for us a mystic throne
In the splendor of the skies,
That shall always be for us,
Children of the Nazarene,
Children who shall ever sing
Liberty! Fraternity!
