Isn’t it true that we all have a vision?
A marvelous life full of peace
No more violence to contend with
Problems that have solutions
Our time freed up so we can
Live in harmony with nature
This can be the reality
We must realize this and work for it
Hour by hour and day by day
We cannot dream it away problems
But rather anticipate condition and react
Peace comes from forgiveness, from
Not holding ourselves above others
We must be passionate in what we do
Have compassion for others at all times,
Even when difficult and at a time when
We, ourselves, are in a difficult struggle
Spend time with little children
Teach them how to smile and
Imitate us as we care for things,
Including our pets and the wild animals
Let them help us feed the birds and squirrels
Visit and sing to the sick
Avoid messing up our earth
Work our gardens and arrange flowers
Create beauty in harmony with nature
Keep our homes clean and inviting
Stay true to ourselves and stay calm
Do not provoke others into anger
Work in our community for justice
Look out for those needing help
This is a magnificent vision
We must be constantly aware
It will become natural to us
Feed us new energy so we can
Live what we believe and
Reach for all we want
