Dreams and Hope

Dreams and Hope

In a world so often crazy,

And fraught with so much strife,

My dream is that we learn respect,

And value human life.

I hope we teach our children,

To cherish this great earth,

We can show them by example,

Almost from their birth.

I dream of having peaceful days,

Without a single war,

When countries learn diplomacy,

And to negotiate much more.

My hopes are for a cancer cure,

For there to be enough to eat,

Of streets that have no violence,

Of relationships without deceit.

I dream that all can worship freely,

No matter what they believe,

And that every single child,

Is given the ability to achieve.

I pray that in my lifetime,

My hopes and dreams come true.

I will try to help them all along,

In everything I do.
