Anywhere Else We Rather Be Poem by Aldo Kraas

Anywhere else we rather be
Even if we could hear the voice of our mother again
And see her face
Anywhere else we rather be
Where is no violence but peace and quiet
Here on earth it is very difficult to find peace and quiet
Anywhere else we rather be
Writing poetry
Filling that empty pages of our note books with poetry
Some people might think that we are a powerless poet
Anywhere else we rather be
Sleeping in a warm bed in the night
Anywhere else we rather be
Taking a ride in the car through the valley of San Francisco
Anywhere else we rather be watching the sky at night
Anywhere else we rather be picking up the wild flowers from the valley Of San Francisco
Anywhere else we rather be holding hands and walking together
Anywhere else we rather be praying
Anywhere else we rather be singing
The songs of praise
