Godmother's Dream

This is the fairy godmother's dream--
In a world where nothing is what it seems,
A tribute to Martin Luther King,
I do dream of a circling ring,
Of global helping, healing hands,
I dream of Peace in every land,
I dream that guns be obsolescent,
That equitable freedom be made prevalent,
I dream that hunger be obsolescent,
I dream safe water be ever present,
I dream that children grow and play in unity,
I dream none be taught bigotry,
I dream of women free of discrimination,
I dream of no slavery in any nation,
I dream of an infectious smile on every face,
I dream of one global human race,
I dream of one perfect communion of the soul,
I dream that Heaven on Earth be our whole,
Maybe I dream impossible dreams,
In a world where nothing is what it seems.
