Peaceful Dreams

* For Carol's contest Peaceful Dreams Battlefields Contradictions to God’s intentions Death toll headlines spark contemplation World without war Could such dreams come true? Hope lingers in hearts seeking clues Make it happen Extend a loving hand to all nations End the tragic conflagration Fiery death scenes Who emerges victorious In battles so notorious? I dream of peace Humanity and compassion Enjoyed by every nation Harmony reigns And every life is recognized As one with merit, a unique prize Our Lord’s vision Is surely within reach of man Black, white, red and tan Learning to love Accepting our differences Guided by spiritual influences

Getting caught up. This speaks to every humanized person. Unfortunately, the world is full of inhuman violence. BIG LOVE, daver

Good job, Miss Carolyn! I like especially verses 1 and three, but 4 haunts us throughout history and it resonates the most with me. This is advanced carefully and honestly. I wish to thank you soo much for your kind words to me about Sondheim. I was moved and so was my wife. We are humbled and grateful to people like you who are so kind and caring. Thank you from deep within me. Regards Gerard.
