Our Dream of Peace

Most dream of peace on earth- what is this peace
   we yearn and pray for in our life?  Just think!
Toast days when wars no longer threat- police
   key rulings that destroy our freedom’s link.

Host all God-given rights we own- release
   free ways that lead us to salvation's brink:
each person has the same fortuity-
   reach peace without the fear of 'fight or flee'.
