Birthday Wish

As I observe another birth
I wonder why the nations rage
alas, I've reached that seasoned age
when all I want is peace on earth

A spritual transformation as reborn with peace and yes, why there were calamities, all we need is simply peace. Belated birthday wish. Apology, not able to review the compilations, was away from the site from a light time. Regards

I am an incorrigible optimist, my friend. It's probably incurable. Thank you for the visit and kind words.

To quote John Lennon, "you may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one" (wait, was that Lennon or Lenin, lol). Thanks for the visit, friend. My day is going just fine.

It's the young gollywompers who stir things up with their need for greed who should be whacked like the evil elves that hacked Santa's computer! Seriously, John... enjoy your special day. Eat cake!
