Let There Be Light

Let there be light 
Where no lights can be 
Let there be heart 
When your love cannot see 

Let there be sun 
That all eyes can feel 
Let there be warmth 
To allow us to heal 

Let there be hope 
Where all should kneel 
Let there be love 
At everyone's next meal 

Let there be light 
That reflects from the sea 
Your face and mine 
Smiling outwardly free 

Let there be harmony 
To better this place 
Understanding and peace 
And no arms race 

Let there be friendship 
Stretching land to land 
Working together 
With common command

This is a great read. The serenity of it is capitivating. It sooths the weary mind with its demands for liberty.

This is just wonderful. It sounds like, "To be or not to be." The chain of evolution for the cradle of light to the command is excellent. Great job! Joseph
