Here’s another edition of the Thursday Evening Post. ☀️

This Sunday marks the first day of summer! 😎

To celebrate, here’s my cover of “Under the Boardwalk.” 🌞

On my car radio this week, Bob Marley’s “One Love/People Get Ready” began playing.

Lyrics:

One love, one heart
Let’s get together and feel alright
Hear the children cryin’ (One love)
Hear the children cryin’ (One heart)
Sayin’, “Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel alright”
Sayin’, “Let’s get together and feel alright, woah-woah-woah-woah”

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One love)
There is one question I’d really love to ask (One heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinners
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?

One love (What about a one heart?), one heart (What about love)
Let’s get together and feel alright (As it was in the beginning)
One love (So shall it be in the end), one heart (Alright)
Thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel alright
Let’s get together and feel alright, one more thing

Let’s get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (One love)
So when the Man comes, there will be no, no doom (One song)
Have pity on those whose chances grows thinner
There ain’t no hiding place from the Father of Creation, saying

One love (What about the one heart?), one heart (What about the—)
Let’s get together and feel alright (I’m pleadin’ to mankind)
One love (Oh, Lord), one heart (Woah)
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel alright
Let’s get together and feel alright
Thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel alright
Let’s get together and feel alright

As the song played, a sense of peace came over me.

The beautiful melody, slow tempo, and soothing vocals communicate a message of love. ❤️

At a time in the world when there is so much darkness, the message of this song brings so much light. 🌟

What would happen if we all came together?

What would happen if we made decisions that reflected love?

What do you like about the song?

I had never seen the official music video for this song before, and I found it so MOVING! 💙

What do you like about the video?

The smiling faces of children in the video, particular moved me.

When adults make choices, those choices affect kids.

How will your choices impact future generations?

May you be well! 💚
