He had a dream, he knew the way
To each one work and still have time to play
To know thyself and to think of others
To tuck his children safe under the covers
To go to church with family at side
To sing and pray and not have to hide
To walk and view the skies so blue
A neighbor stops and says how are you
To know that different colors could well do blend
And broken hearts would always mend
A man a woman and a child too
Could mix in business and live next to you
The Lord our god has placed each of us here
To lend a hand and a listening ear
Our world has divided and gone separate ways
We fear our children to go out and play
Gun shots heard and murders each day
I don’t think this is how God hath shown the way
We stick to ourselves and not know the names
Of neighbors near and there is no shame
God looks down over the world he hath made
And hangs his head as his memories fade
God lifts his arms and reaches out
Please say my name go ahead and shout
For this is my command that all of you do
To spread my name and say I love you
I want this world to go back to the start
I want my love to be in each of your hearts
God says I am coming again some day
Please come together and form the way
For me to lift you up and take you home
For this is the plan I have always shown
Please put the guns behind closed locks
Teach your child what thoughts to block
Share the news of me with others
Make sure you always respect your mothers
I am telling you all one more time
I will be coming now get in line.
Very nice Terry. God is indeed sending His Son back again and I cannot imagine it being too much longer. Thanks for sharing your poem.
