Happy 2nd, Amelia Francis - honoring innocence & wisdom!
4/5/21
Hello, Everyone!
Honoring the Innocence of my youngest granddaughter, Amelia Francis Bell,
who turns 2 today, I am supplying a bit of a song I wrote about innocence
a few years back - and also about a thing I call wisdom.
I will say no more - and let my song say it all as I (and we) Believe!
Have a Lovely Birthday, Amelia - and the rest of your life -
and far beyond!
Love Ya!
Grandpa Francis and Grandma Nancy
WISE AS A SERPENT
AND
INNOCENT AS A DOVE
By
a "son of light,"

REFRAIN:
Jesus said: Be wise as a serpent -
and innocent as a dove;
and that, my friend, is my key for finding love.
Indeed, we're all the same
from a snake to a bird.
The truth is that all in life has equal worth.
From a creature crawling in the dirt
to a creature flying high above,
all should be wise as a serpent
and innocent as a dove.
Be careful where you step.
You may step on a snake
that's minding its own business
by searching for easy prey.
A serpent is wise by knowing that it fits;
and knowing that it fits, it is without sin.
I should be wise as a serpent
by knowing I belong;
and it's in that light,
as a son of light,
that I sing this song.
Refrain
But Jesus also said
I should be innocent as a dove.
That means to me I should be harmless -
even to those who shove.
Just be kind to everyone
and kindness I will know -
because the kindness I offer others
will be invested in my soul.
Refrain
Yes, Jesus also said
I should be innocent as a dove.
That means to me I should be kind -
even to those who shove.
Just be kind to everyone
and kindness I will know -
because the kindness I offer others
will be invested in my soul.
Refrain
FINISH:
Yes, From a creature crawling in the dirt
to a creature flying high above,
all should be wise as a serpent
and innocent as a dove -
wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove,
wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove,
wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove.
