A Quiet Celebration


You stopped
Our slave bells pealing
Education
Your gift
We accepted
Because
It is one thing that keeps on giving

You encouraged
Our soul’s voices singing
Spirituality
Your gift
We accepted
Because
It is one aspect in living that keeps on giving

You protected
Us from ourselves squealing
Irony
Your gift
We accepted
Because
Through your eyes we learned the world is sometimes unforgiving
