Smile At Your Brother

We're all brothers and sisters In this great big world of ours Let's try living as one happy family Replacing guns with flowers Getting down to the bottom of it We all treasure the same old thing A quiet and comfortable living Inner peace that happiness brings We may look at things differently That's what makes each one unique We're all just searching for happiness But with an independent streak Our skin may have a different hue But when touched, it feels the same We put one foot in front of the other We're all part of the same old game The answer to peace is quite simple Respect for our fellow man We each can make a difference The solution is in our hands

"We're all just searching for happiness But with an independent streak". Who could disagree with that? Respect is key indeed. It's really amazing, Jack. 20 pages on here, of just beautiful work like this. What an accomplishment! Always, Laura
