All I Want

All I want
All I want is peace
An end to war
A way to release

All I want is love
Love coming from above
Peaceful sight
Everlasting light

All I want is a gentle hand
A soft voice
Someone to understand

All I want is an open mind
A vision not blind
All I want is to be filled with pride
Facing life with arms open wide
All I want is selfless need
To do great deeds
All I want 
Is all I want

The End

G.P.. i want the same thing... but, the open mind line was clever to add in. I also believe great deeds are a gift of not wanting, selfless needs... you are awesome,...take care.. LINDA
