A Vermillion ZaniLa Rhyme for Troubled Times

Everyone knows that I love my town
Even if they can't see why
O sweet release, my place gives me peace!
When the well of my patience runs dry

When my mind and my body are tired
And the fight starts to leave me
My place gives me peace, o sweet release!
Of the sorrows that so aggrieved me

These sweet lilacs in bloom are my balm
Your beloved faces, too
O sweet release, my place gives me peace!
A home that's a home to come home to

Even as chaos engulfs the globe -
New horrors greet ev'ry morn
My place gives me peace, o sweet release!
From a world that has left me forlorn
