Call Me a Dreamer

I've tried so hard to live my life As a caring human being Don't understand the conflicts Solutions are so easily seen Just do away with all the hate It doesn't seem too complicated What a triumph that would be If everyone was dedicated There I go dreaming again People must think I'm naive Don't know why I'm an optimist Guess it's just what I believe Faith that most people are good When offered simple choices Most times they'll choose correctly Be damned, those dissenting voices Call me what you will, my friends I feel much better this way Get on the road to a joyful life Let us feast on a happy buffet!

You're nothing close to naive!!! You are truly full of priceless wisdom. Living a life of kindness is a beautiful thing, and I really respect your ideas involving peace and dedication. "What a triumph that would be If everyone was dedicated"...I most certainly agree...Beautiful thoughts, and a good message to be yourself, or the best of yourself. You’ve taught me many things since I’ve began reading your treasures, and for that I thank you wholeheartedly. Always, Laura
