My Return

While I slept the world carried on without me flowers bloomed- children grew the world began to emerge from its enforced hibernation but they greeted each other with unrest with accusations I wanted to see happiness and relief and gratitude for those who survived I had dreams in my slumber- nightmares now I look for hope, for peace, for a united people but I find hate and anger in its place we are one race- the human race- we live, we die just the same Look I want to say- I survived-we survived! celebrate the now- the life- believe just believe. Thank you God, Amen.
