Wish For Acceptance

My greatest wish is for humanity Treating each other with civility Regardless of each one’s ethnicity All men should be treated with dignity For when I hear of discrimination It generates the greatest repulsion And so as not to create confusion Every religion deserves inclusion Judging books by their covers can only bring More hate, intolerance as hope takes wing If we could learn to be more accepting Bells of world peace would surely be chiming So join me now in prayer for acceptance And an end to widespread intolerance Beyond war there will be a transcendence Through God’s plan we’ll live in benevolence *Entry for Kristen’s “If I had one wish” contest By Carolyn Devonshire (Thanks for reading. No comments needed. Will be away on vacation for the next week and unable to return the favor. Have a wonderful Memorial Day holiday!)
