I hold my breath

For many things

Warm blue skies 

And graceful landings

Paths that lead 

Without deceit

Healing nights 

Of truthful sleep

Winds that sing without regret

And gentle rains of welcome wet

I wish for goodness to prevail

For hearts to swell 

And love to bind

For greener earth

And seas pristine

For minds to grow 

To full mankind
