I wish to live in a world where
being alive matters,
where resolve and purpose rule each day.
I wish to live in a world, a hope-filled world,
where every tree and branch
shivers with ecstasy and beauty.
I wish to live in a world
where the elderly are cherished
and the little ones reverenced.
I wish to live in a world
where stories are told,
where tomorrow matters and
yesterdays become a treasure of the past.
I wish to live in a world
where the future holds possibility.
This is the world in which I want to live.
