TAISA’S HOMELAND
(Can be sung, to “The Yellow Rose of Texas,” but you don’t have to!)
I haven’t dared ask as yet,
Ukrainia was their home…
And often-times they’d visit
The remaining folks back home;
Taisa was rather nice,
We grew up side-by-side…
Appreciating each other’s
Intense ethnic pride.
–
I hope their relatives o’er there
Are safe and un-endangered…
A troubling time Ukrainians
Have definitely endured;
Please pray for Orthodox churches
Priests, bishops and all
That they might offer comfort
In the midst of political walls!
