VIVA LA PAPA!

Viva la papa! Americans cried

As the pope mobile

Came down the streets.

Viva la papa! over and over

As tears ran down their cheeks.

Cheers rang out in respectful shrieks.

Benedict the XVI HAS ARRIVED

IN WASHINGTON, D.C. HOORAY!

He is honored in a respectful way

By the faithful during his short stay.

Benedict is the pope of hope.

He brings God's message for today.

To Christians, Jews, Muslims with hands held high.

He blesses all with one huge scope.

We are so privileged 

Here in  the U.S.A

To have God's ambassador of peace

Bring a message of  hope for today.

We thank God for 

His blessing of peace.

With turbulence on every side

We all pray for wars forever to cease.

What a Lennon desire

In our world todya

We hate to see

Benedict go away.

He is saying mass in New Yark city

Before he must leave and go away.

He's leaving on Sunday

In Vatican City to stay.

Lost Love

Oh, I fell in love at a tender age,

My love was warm and free.

Laughing, full bosomed,

Fair in the sun,

A bonnie lassie she!

I long for her

Now to embrace,

Love overpowers me.

Constantly vivid in memory,

My love she is the sea.
