A Sixteen Hour Miracle

A Sixteen Hour Miracle

 
I guess it all comes back
to Freddy and Queen in 1985
I was a proud member
of the London community
I was only eleven years old
 
Live-Aid was finally here
I remember riding my beloved roller-skates
around Clapham Common
 
I couldn't have been more excited
I rolled home from an early morning skate 
with what felt like, rockets on my feet
 
to watch with pride  
 
the concert of a lifetime
I listened to each artist 
each performer
each string of the electric guitar
a global jukebox, come to life
the whole world applauding
 
I was part of history that day
and even though
I no longer live, in my beloved London
and no longer get to listen
to these magnificent artists performing live
 
I still sit sometimes to reminisce
 
of that day, that day
when I was young
and had nothing better to do
except to listen
learning through music
learning that we are all equal
 
millions of people of all race and colour
united, simply joined together
with a wish to help others
no hate no discrimination
just love in our hearts

the day the world was united
the day I witnessed
a sixteen-hour miracle.

Hello Sis Shirley...

I was going to message you but, there isn't a Cosmo way to Italy...

I want you to know if you want to chat ...

I will chat with Hummingbird and see if she wouldn't mind being a Middle Lady for a few...

I will be around...

​​​​​I want you to know that I felt a Sister/Friend connection with you...

Thank you very much for sharing your Journey...

I'm going to take some Nothing Rest Nest Time...

I guess I can call it a Staycation...

​​​​​​Have fun...

Thank you again for your Beautiful Writes...

Hello my dear Sparrowsong stay well and come back to see me when you can, I have a cool connection with you too, I don't have messaging because I find it better without. At least the trolls find it harder to befriend us. Biggest of hugs sweet sis. ❤️ Take time and see you soon.
