For What Are We Fighting For

When we dream we close our eyes and tend to think back as a little child.  Our 
times were so simple.  But, now as we age our hearts change.  We think only of 
ourselves and forget our past.  We regard only those of great wealth and forget 
ourselves.  I believe in my dreams and falling stars, beyond me are my years and 
hopefully happy tears .  I care for my children and love my neighbors even when 
they are wrong.  I decided to take a stand and live out my faith.  God is my 
witness for he embraces me when im in need.  He is why I believe.
