Dreams of Peace So many souls with different faces In one world, but from many places We are all the same; can't you see Regardless of heritage; you and me Look for the person inside, not out THAT is what this life is all about A choice between good or bad to make Each person decides which road to take Those decisions create our society today On a self destructing path; sorry to say Too much evil lurks in this life Creating heartache and widespread strife Prejudice and greed out of control The results of such, take their toll The wars and crime a direct result Our land destroyed only to be rebuilt We all need to change for the world to endure Love one another, that is the cure Reach out a helping hand to others Strangers, friends, acquaintances, brothers Put aside those petty differences and hate Find a common ground in which to relate I dream of a world where peace is the norm People working together to weather the storm Here is to the hope that one day it comes true A land of harmony for me and for you Copyright© December 1998 Lisa Jo Ewert Used with permission.
