Tune: Dominus Regit Me
('The King of love my Shepherd is')
Based on a prayer of the Liturgy of St Mark (2nd Century AD)
***************
O sovereign and Almighty Lord
Bless your people, give your word
And all your flock give your help, peace
Us from our sins, fears release
Give your love to us your servants
We the sheep of your fold hence
That we may be united in
The bond of peace here within
And united too in body
And in one spirit may be
One hope of our calling in your
Divine and boundless love sure

That's three wishes to grant. Isn't that all that we are allowed with the magic lamp? They are good wishes though. Nice one Orchi.
Thanks SB. I've wasted 2 wishes already.
I wished for beautiful wife - I got KP!
I wished for fish - got same thing - KP, an old trout! lol.
this is indeed a long series isn't it
Thanks N. Yes, lol, but not matching (or not yet?) a series of 30 poems I did on another theme.
Beutiful
Thanks T.
A beautiful poem culminating in unity and love, what could be better?
Thanks B. Of course there's no hope of it for KP and I. lol. It's my fault, I keep spoiling it by saying to her 'Can't we stop arguing like cat and trout [dog]?!' Her latest (true) escapade is she says a ghost tickled her feet. It was Fido brushing past of course.
I'd say that you two were a match made, well somewhere. The thing about matches, you've got to be very careful, and have a fire extinguisher handy. lol
