What the World Needs Now

What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love... sound familiar???
No truer words were ever spoken
Love makes the world go round
Everything else is secondary
Us humans seem to be hellbent
On destroying everything that's good and decent
It's beyond all logical reason or explanation
We all need to step back
And take a good look at what we've got
It shouldn't always be about what we don't have
Before you know it, we reach our golden years
And what was so very important once
No longer seems to matter one iota
RELAX... GO WITH THE FLOW
Live, love, laugh... it feels sooo damn good!

Peter Rees February 28, 2023 at 5:28 AM Yes indeed if each of us has love in our heart, but what the world needs is to share that love and add in a grain of common sense ! Jack Ellison February 28, 2023 at 6:00 AM Well said Peter! So just a little love goes a long way! Cheers Peter!
