A Song for Amani and Zayn
and all their friendsThere are some songs that we can sing![]()
and stories we can tell
of flowers, trees and butterflies,
and friends we know so well.
The notes and words we sing and say
will float and swirl through air
to reach our friends and those we love
and let them know we care.
It’s ok to feel lost, to cry,
and be a little sad.
At home or school, you’re not alone
in times both good or bad.
Let's sing the songs and share the words;
together we’ll get through.
With hugs and smiles and so much more,
your friends are here for you.
and stories we can tell
of flowers, trees and butterflies,
and friends we know so well.
The notes and words we sing and say
will float and swirl through air
to reach our friends and those we love
and let them know we care.
It’s ok to feel lost, to cry,
and be a little sad.
At home or school, you’re not alone
in times both good or bad.
Let's sing the songs and share the words;
together we’ll get through.
With hugs and smiles and so much more,
your friends are here for you.
Peace and good wishes ... JH x
