Imagine…!

My friend and I have just been reduced to tears by this scene in a video.

 

A charming girl of three years old,

makes a beautiful request,

a scene of wonder then unfolds,

in which the world by her’s then blessed,

‘please can you play Imagine’;

how like a nightingale she sings

with words of charity, compassion,

there would be no courage
to keep on trying.

And if LIFE itself had nothing
imagine what LIFE would be....
