Love Song
What the World Needs Now
After another week of drama, tremendous change, and uncertainty, we need a positive light shone upon us. How about a sign that the world will once again find peace and harmony? And, that people will come together and love one another and treat all with respect and honor.
Today, I had coffee with a dear friend, and it was refreshing to connect and be outside, masks on, laughing and enjoying the moment. Plus, meeting new friends with interesting life stories. After all, is not that what life is about - connection and laughter. I also chatted with another friend on the phone and my heart was lifted. And earlier in the day had attended a Bar Class and Tennis with friends. All appropriately six feet apart and with masks. The sisterhood is alive and well.
We live in a glorious world and even though the joys of 2019 have been swept away under the carpet until the future, we can still enjoy one another. This change is so rapid, complete, and utterly shocking. We need a lift and lots of love. Something to believe in. Thus, seek out the beauty in the world. Be fearless, safe and get outside.
Finally, I was reminded of a famous Burt Bacharach song - What the World Needs Now. I believe we need love, hope and peace now more than ever.
What
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone.
The
Lord, we don't need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross,
Enough to last till the end of time.
World
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.
Needs
Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, lord, if you want to know.
Now
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.
Is Love, Sweet Love
No, not just for some, oh, but just for everyone.
Get outside. Connect with others. Where your mask and get on with your life. This is it. No dress rehearsal. Though many doors have been shut and life is spinning at an outrageous speed, we will survive. It is the human condition to be a fighter and to persevere. Start spreading hope, love, and peace. Put your fears aside and keep a firm foot on the ground. Meet new people. Learn their stories. The world is a beautiful place.
