oh say can you see
beyond the color
and beliefs
and ways of life
beyond the shining sea
and fruited plains
to the dream
coming true?
a place where
all are truly equal
and can live true to themselves
without hurting others
a place where
life is valued
and kindness and justice reign
and people are free to be brave
a place where
land and trees
and wildlife
are cared for
and respected
a place where
no child goes
hungry
or cries out from pain
a place where
all work together
for the good
despite their differences
oh say can you see
as the light of dawn brings hope,
the dream coming true
again?
I so very much hope so!
Me too. 🙂
A wonderful perspective.
Thank you so much, Mr. John. For reading and for your kind words.
