All The Love In The World

by Dave Dunn

I would like to live long enough to one day see,

the many people in this world sharing harmony,

caring for all, not just those they see each day,

sharing all their burdens freely and also some play.

Will it take a millenium or more to reach that state,

or can we wake everyone to take this dream and make,

a world fit for our brothers and sisters wherever born,

let them have water to drink, and enough fruit and corn.

The one thing that is needed to bring all this about,

is for us all to stand proud and cheerfully shout,

that they love every person as their equal in life,

for all the love in the world would overcome every strife...

I love the English Rhyming couplet format of the poem, and of course the poem itself.

Thank you all for commenting - perhaps it will remain a dream Larisa, I don't expect my first 2 lines to come true for sure!

The one thing I am sure about - the power lies within our collective grasp, if not yet within our collective will...

Best wishes, Dave

True! I think things are changing, many thing are, I suppose it all takes time? But I think that's the reason for our existence is to get it right, So we can live on in harmony. xx

Wonderful sentiments, Dave. A shame that Larisa is no doubt right - a miracle! But we can dream, can we not?

With warmest wishes,
