| MY SUMMER HIDEAWAY |

|
| FRACKVILLE, PA |
A PLACE TO RELAX
It is a pleasure to sit in a screened gazebo on a hot summer day and enjoy watching
the presence of frisky squirrels and the chirping birds in the nearby trees.
|
Many ideas for the creation of my art work, writings, and woodcrafts originated while
sitting in the solace of the gazebo located in our back yard

Peace, everywhere, peace today!
Peace in lands of scruffy trees and
pine,
Peace in lands of olives and wine,
Peace in lands where peaks are white,
Peace in lands where fields are
bright.
Peace in lands of oasis and sand,
Peace in lands where people band,
Peace in lands where children play,
Peace in lands where people pray,
Peace in lands in the thick of the fight,
Peace in lands ruled by force and
might.
Everywhere, everywhere, peace this day!
Pray that all world leaders lead the way,
Encouraging moral
people to stand proud and tall,
No government too great, no nation too small.
