Virginia

How I wish
they could live free
Born yes
Thanks to you
Too many souls
have been gunned down
Or are captive
in the zoo
You maam are
the saintly one
Respected yes of course
Born free
Too many Lions still suffer
But all you do
We see
A source

of hope
That rings eternal
its you
and of course Born Free
Your son
and all your precious friends
Who all walk tall
With thee

Happy Birthday
Virginia
90 years today
A solar eclipse and a new moon
Where the Celtic oak
Does sway
In the wind of bygone years
Standing for longevity
Happy Birthday
Virginia
And of course
all at Born Free
