I Will Dream

Violence, hatred, bigotry, tragedy
Just take a paper and read
The world is full of garbage 
 Hunger, abuse, power and greed

People hate and cause dissension
They take much more than they give
But I will never stop my dreaming 
Of a better place to live

I will dream of peaceful days
When wars are fought no more
Of days when all life is respected
And we no longer lock our door

And I will dream of one mankind
Achieving miracles untold
A brotherhood where love and honor
Are worth more than the gold

I will dream of happiness
The end of bigotry and hate
A world without the hurt and pain
Love and joy will be our fate

I will dream of glorious days
Where only love be found
And I will dream of unity
As we walk on sacred ground

Time will see my dream come true
Peace and love will conquer all
We can cast away all our human faults
Watching each one as they fall

I will dream!!!

Hey Vince, thanks for the shout out, remember those who dream must walk with eyes wide shut, but listening still for those who shout ... behold the dreamer cometh ... we poor Josephs have no choice ... it is not the fault of man the sorrow, it is in the cosmic war ... the demon enemies of soul will fall ... before our triumphant deliverer ... awesome write.

Vince when you get ready to take over congress, you've got my vote. We need someone with morals and memories of how life was and should be. God Bless, Ron

I will share this dream too. After all, anything is possible. Besides, we are nothing without our dreams. Surely these things must be in the hopeful hearts of most people. Inspiring and essential message. Love, Shar
