On seeing the annual Commonwealth Day Service on TV
It\'s always the second Monday in March in the UK
Vibrant and bright, many nationalities
King Charles III giving an address from the pulpit
In Westminster Abbey (UK)
A crowing moment (pun intended?)
Was the Recessional Hymn (last hymn)
And a procession out of church
With all the Commonwealth flags
To the hymn and tune
\'Crown Him with many crowns\'
Suitable for our Lord Jesus
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords
A sort of \'going-forth\' showed symbolically
Patriotism too, but not just that
The flags as banners
Of nations going out into the world
To share justice, peace, equality - love
A pipe dream? Or \'if only it were so.....\'?
And \'Give peace a chance\'
Let\'s hope so - and we can pray so.....
