In the Valley

In the valley where Life is lived as intended Happiness is widespread As far as any eye can see. Joy and love reign As peace and blessings Fall from above. Minor disagreements though Few and far between, Met with acceptance and Understanding are Respectfully resolved with Knowledge and equality For the good of all involved. In the valley Poverty does not exist. Seeds of wealth Planted since The beginning of time Have been harvesting For generations and Will continue on Long after we're gone. In the valley There is no violence. Voices are raised in song And celebration of one another Like wine glasses in toast. Sleep is the only silence That can be heard Other than peace itself. There's no such thing As discrimination. All are as equal here As we are in the eyes of God. Selfishness and jealousy Like pain and suffering Will never be known Here in the valley. Everyone's consciences Are clear and hearts are As open as welcoming arms. Life in the valley may seem Like lifetimes away but It's inside each and everyone of us Dare to reach in and see? We were made in His likeness With agape love. That unconditional love for All of mankind. This is how life in the valley Is lived as intended. Will you come? 3/23/18

Thank you again Pace. Regardless of how the world is, if more of us thought on the scale of how life was intended to be, then perhaps it would be. We have to change our ways of thinking and doing according to the original intended plan.
