Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

I See a Day

I see a day when mankind will say
   Let us our differences downplay
when the wolf will lie down with the lamb --
   Hearken to the shofar blast of the horn of the ram

I see a day when every husband and wife unite
   to keep the bonds of matrimony pure white
when children feel the love and care they so deserve
   when families dwell in peace, no stress on their nerves
  
I see a day when the earth is back in equilibrium
   without carbon overload or environmental destruction
when mankind treats our wonderful world with awe
   when he respects Nature and Natural Law...

These visions may perhaps sound like mere dreams
   Let's make them come true, on wise plans' streams

Robert L. Hinshaw September 29, 2019 at 5:14 PM How we all pray such a day will come, Gershon! Well written! Many thx for your kind words re Abandoned School House. I started school in Indiana where there were 3 classes in one room - kinda tells you my age - ha! Best wishes for a glorious Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur! - Bob Robert L. Hinshaw September 29, 2019 at 7:20 PM Gershon, I come from a small town named Hagerstown, Indiana and I don't know exactly where Warsaw is located. I was in the middle of my 30 year career in the AF in 1969 and happened to be assigned here in Colorado Springs. Yep, it was one teacher for 3 classes but somehow she (and we kids) muddled thru! Take good care - Bob H Gershon Wolf September 29, 2019 at 5:20 PM Bob, thank YOU so much for your encouragement and continued insights. … Three classes in one room. Whoa! I worked in Warsaw, Indiana back in the summer of 1969. Were you anywhere near there?... And finally, thank you for your good holiday wishes. Much appreciated. Blessings, Gershon
