Notes About The Poem

somehow my original post got erased along with all of the comments. This is a repost. I'm not sure what happened. I logged on and it was gone..

Make a Wish

I wish hearts were never broken
Love would last forever
Minds were always open
All peoples, birds of a feather
Tolerance a worldly endeavor

I wish everyone had food to eat
Ignorance was no more
Pollution damage in retreat
There was no rich or poor
No such thing as war
