Carolyn Devonshire Poet Couplet

Visions For Change

Walk with me, my child, before you grow
Hear of the world I’d like you to know

A unified Earth without country divisions
One without governments to make decisions

A world where people are not judged by race
Color neutral, can you imagine this place?

Freedom to worship as each one pleases
No hate-based reproaches, just loving breezes

All would have food, shelter and joy
Care would be given to each girl and boy

Mother Nature would smile upon us all
No earthquakes, tsunamis or mudslide falls

Art would be revered and beauty bestowed
Never again would war sounds explode

Now tell me, dear child, do you share my dream
For you hold the power to build a new team

Our youth may set our tomorrow in motion
Precepts like these need not only be notions

Anthony Amero April 20, 2010 at 6:30 AM Awesome vision and a great dream. Unfortunately people are involved. You know as well as I do that people won't let this vision happen. I share your visions, but just do my part and hope for the best. Love your art. Tony

Amy Green April 3, 2010 at 12:51 AM OOOhhh, I love this idea of utopia. If this is for the contest, good luck- this is a great piece.

Colleen Bono March 29, 2010 at 2:12 PM Wouldn't it be nice to live in a world like this.Nicely done.Hope all is well.I posted a new poem and getting ready to post another one.

Gert W. Knop March 29, 2010 at 4:16 AM Great thoughts, Carolyn!!! That would be a world I'd rather be! Why can't man live in peace which each other -- animals would do so if from same species! Powerful write! Tahnk you for your comments...Love, Gert

Caroline Cécile Delacroix March 28, 2010 at 9:35 PM Indeed it needs not. Loved this write very much and feel the same about what kind of world I would like to see and my children to grow up into. Yes, they can set tomorrow in motion, but they also need good examples in their parents. A good foundation makes a sturdy house. We all play an important part in the way things go. I so wish for no more negativities of any kind and I see that that also must begin with me. Thanks for sharing this jewel Carolyn. Goes to my fav today. Your friend, Caroline.

Gerard Keogh Jr. March 28, 2010 at 4:59 PM For some reason, I kept hearing " Imagine" playing in my head. Idealistic and uplifting. It is nice to dream, isn't it? Thank you for your kind remarks. Regards, Gerard.

Jessica Arteaga March 27, 2010 at 9:05 AM this is great but is up to the young and younger and the not even born, we could put our hand in it, but our imprints cannot last long unless some one else could come in and fill, lovely poem.

Andrea Dietrich March 24, 2010 at 10:34 PM Just like the Beatle's Imagine (well, not quite, they said "no religions") Anyway, this is very nicely done, sweetie. thanks so much for commenting at my blog. Now you can go figure out your actual numbers becuase I just got it posted and I can't wait to see everyone's answers! LUv, Andrea

Lynette Chachere March 24, 2010 at 10:09 PM it would be wonderful if that vision of change would arrive sooner than we think. but it is, gradually.for us all to live a divine life with all so genuine and a time tranquility.beautiful poetry. -Always&Forever Lynette
