I Hope and Pray

That lovers' quarrels ev'rywhere
Subside in peace when all is through
Enlightenment to have a care
To know between of what is true.

To echo through the fam'ilies
A strong belief of loving strides
To be there for each other please
And give their all in earnest tries.

From neighborhoods in which we live
Leave arms & minds wide open for
The chance to welcome and to give
To those who'll bless you at the door.

Then more will help communities
To gather villages as one
To teach the young to help them free
The windows to let in the sun.

Who's rays will cross all bound'aries
And banish borderlines from Earth
So just like fish & birds & trees
We'll all have the same place of birth.

And as for me for the new year
I think I've covered all there is
My resolutions listed here
'Cept one more for my special "his".
