Anywhere else we rather be

The poem Anywhere else we rather be Is an old poem written 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
