With My Mind's Eye, I Can See

With my mind's eye, I can see...

                                   With my mind's eye, I can see... everything
                                                       as it should be
                                 people living together without fear, in harmony
                                        helping each other, being truly happy

                                      With my mind's eye, I can see...perfectly
                                      the world as a kindlier, gentler place to be

                                    With my mind's eye, I can see...true liberty
                                       freedom from fear, freedom from pain
                                                  freedom from hypocrisy

                                    With my mind's eye, I can see...true justice
                                             for every man, woman, and child
                                               no more racial profiling, rapists 
                                                          or pedophiles

                               With my mind's eye, I can see... peace and security
                                     when the hungry go from famine... to feast
                                      I can even see peace... in the Middle East

                               With my mind's eye, I can see... an earthly paradise
                                              living forever in perfect health
                                                 Why don't you give it a try?

Thanks R.A for your encouraging visit and words, with eyes of faith we can see, sadly though not the possession of many people today.

Eyes of Faith can sure change the view for the better:)

You're right, too many rely on a human source to bring a change that only God can do, and it's coming soon, we just need to endure. Thanks a lot Jo much appreciated. JDH
