MAY YOU BE BLESSED

An a cappela note in harmony
with universal consciousness can raise
its level of vibration. Through the haze
of negatives that strike a note off key,
two voices merging in a melody
ring crystalline. And in a thousand days
a billion blessings, amplified with praise,
crescendo in a world-wide symphony.

It's not a pipedream, pilgrim, it's a plan.
A single willing heart can help create
a more inviting atmosphere on earth.
Our planet begs for healing, and we can
be instruments of love that resonate
in celebrating every person's worth.

L12 changed from:

We may not heal the planet, but we can

MAY YOU BE BLESSED

Come dream with me. Imagine, if you can,
a world devoid of negativity
inhabited by people who agree
to nurture one another. In the span
of dawn to dawn, each woman, child, and man
is blessed. The universal currency
is peace, and love provides the energy.

It's not a pipedream, pilgrim, it's a plan!

A single smile, a gentle whisper flowing
from you or me to anyone can raise
our global frequency. Each thought ongoing
contributes to a trust account that pays
eternal dividends, a fund that's growing
a Billion Blessings in a Thousand Days.

Imagine, if you can, beyond the sun,
an orb devoid of negativity
inhabited by souls like you and me,
where everyone is blessed by everyone.
Migration to this region, if begun
today, can be accomplished painlessly.
There's ample room aboard, and all ride free.
We'll use a better type of travel fund.

A smile, a gentle word, a friendly gesture
for cherished child or scowling clerk will raise
our global chime. Contribute to the treasure --
a universal trust account that pays
in dividends too generous to measure:
a billion blessings in a thousand days.

Alternate sestet:

A smile, a gentle word -- such grace imparters

in dividends beyond our dreams: For starters,
a billion blessings in a thousand days.
