2424 Allora....

Oh, had I a golden thread
And needle so fine
I’d weave a tapestry
Of rainbow design
Of rainbow design

Far over the water
I’d weave my magic strand
To every city
Through every single land
Through every land

And in it I would weave the bravery
Of women giving birth
In it I would weave the innocence
Of children over all the earth
Children of all earth

Show my brothers and my sisters
My rainbow design
And bind up this sorry world
With hand and heart and mind
Hand and heart and mind

O had I a golden thread
And needle so fine
I’d weave a tapestry
Of rainbow design
Of rainbow design

Wow. Did you write that or find it somewhere? I've never heard it before. And everyone else is like "oh my! how could she not know this? Oohhh!"

Quite unique... i wonder, with 3 more posts will you be a equestrian again? does it just reset at 500 or did you do something to offend somebody? ;)

Its a song, written by Pete Seeger and the brilliant late Eva Cassidy has performed it.

One of Eva's statements

No, no, of course not! So, nothing has happened about being a pleb?

We'll find happiness, you and I.
The clouds now stormy are passing by...
Troubles are many, but what do we care?
We're on the right road, with a hope and a prayer.
This is our test,
but we'll come through,
because we believe what is good and true...
Things may look hopeless, hold on
They soon mend.
Everything works for the best in the end......

..............

If anyone can tell me the author of the above, I'd appreciate it...it has huge sentimental value and search as I have done, I've not found it's true beginning....
