Analysis of Blue Skies
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
A bright blue sky on sunny days
Can chase my troubles far away
I need not walk in darkness now
No stumbling in the night
My Father always shows me how
To conquer when I fight
My head will not lie down in fear
I always choose the right
To live in peace with all mankind
To follow and obey the Light
I will always search for insight!
