THIS DAY IS GOLDEN

THIS DAY IS GOLDEN

This day is golden, shining its blessings,
Mankind is grateful, offering thanks.
The well of regret is dried up and empty.
The nations surrender their guns and their tanks.

This day is golden, showering peace.
Africa feasts at the banquet table.
The planet rejoices, a harvest of plenty,
Its resources hearty, its vital signs stable.

This day is golden, for you and for me,
All men are worthy and on the same team.
All parents nurture and guide tenderly,
All children inherit their peace of the dream.

This day is golden, its magic unfolding,
It echoes surrender and offers its grace.
The garden is blooming, its bright flowers growing,
The rose and the tulip and iris in place.

This day is golden, so put your hand in mine
And walk with me gently the bowered trail.
Your love is a jewel, a rare, precious find,
On an ocean of glory we joyously sail.

This day is golden, overflowing with beauty,
Mankind is prayerful, offering thanks.
The well of regret is dried up and empty,
The nations surrender their guns and their tanks.
