Ramadan
Copyright 2002 Nancy Stewart
December’s
song of the month is a special offering. During the last few months we have
all found ourselves clinging to our children and families, trying to
comprehend the recent events. My young audiences are made up of children of
all colors, nationalities, and religions, and in the spirit of healing, I
offer this song for my Muslim friends who are celebrating Ramadan.
I wish for all of you
Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men,
Women, and Children.
Happy Holidays, whatever your holiday may be.

They fast until the dark of night
