The soft star
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Pick the cakes upon the sky
So colourful in your eye
Blessed be oh lived Angel
That of hands so tangible
Save us from the evil knock
Take away the things that shock
"Leave it out" I hear you think
But I'm not joking here within
Caged you were within a life
Your people knew God
With such dear light
And shon it through futures
Now, told.
Protect our souls as we grow old
Beloved be the name of Enoch
