Ahh seems love is the answer for most things in life! Some form of it anyway! Not saying one must be in love but rather feel it! Softens the hardest of us! And now wow I actually read this in a sing song way so great song! I try not to sing as I do not have the voice for it but as I read it came out that way! Haha! My youngest didn't appreciate it but still it was a wonderful read!;)

Beautiful sentiment in your lyrics John Derek Hamilton. The world is at boiling point on all levels. Love, you think it would be so simple for humanity to embrace, but people, being burnt on all levels, have no trust anymore, and a whole lot of anger. Love is the answer, that and respect for each other.

Thanks Sandy, well if I got a Wow from you and you could feel it as a song then I'm happy, that's half the battle is to come off feeling like it's a song, that's a great compliment thanks so much!

Great message song here my friend. I am reading this as Imagine is playing on the radio behind me. Gave it a real nice feel.

Thanks Nette, I'm glad you felt the vibe I was aiming for, empathy is what the world needs, but will it happen?
