“Ah, Aphrodite, if I sing no moreTo thee, God's daughter, powerful as God,It is that thou hast made my life too sweetTo hold the added sweetness of a song.There is a quiet at the heart of love,And I have pierced the pain and come to peace.” IfsHeartMadePainSongPowerfulQuietDaughterTheeSweetnessAphrodite Book:Helen of Troy, and Other Poems Source: Helen of Troy, and Other Poems
“Operation Peter Pan spanned from 1960-62 whereby over 14,000 children were sent away from their families in Cuba, some never to reunite again. Pan Am flights took the children to Miami FL, 'Never-Never Land', and the children became known as the 'Peter Pans.' I wrote this song for my daughter, and it is sung for all the daughters and mothers, fathers and brothers who felt this pain of separation all because of governments and their politics.” ChildrenGovernmentPainMotherSongFatherFeltKnownLandBrotherDaughterSeparationFlightOperationsMy DaughterPeter1960sCubaMiamiMother And DaughterFather And BrotherNever Never LandPain Of Separation Author:Tori Amos
