The World's Answer


I want to wake up and feel the sun on my face

I want to know there is peace in our land

Peace in my heart

Peace in my family

               with friends

I want to walk out my door and see the dandelion that popped up

And smile,

               knowing there is peace in the land

I want to know joy

I want to share joy

               with family

               With friends

               With strangers I meet

I want to know joy

               will spread

I want to know love

               Even when I don’t feel it

               Even when I don’t show it

               Even when I don’t share it

Love

Love spreads

Love covers hurts,

               Provides healing,

               Brings peace

               Brings joy

Love is the answer

               So simple

Love is the goal

               So easy

Love, peace and joy

               The world’s answer
