New World Wishes
If God were to recreate the Earth
He might look back through history
And make changes, consider three
All children would be conceived in love
Neglect is suffered shamefully
Too many scarred by poverty
Skin color would not be criteria
For measuring man’s potential
Racial divides? Nonessential
Joy would reign in everyone’s life
Earth’s bounty would be shared by all
Blissful spirits would fill each hall
These three may providing a launching pad
To make our world a better place
And man would revel in God’s grace
