We Pray

Believing in Someday
(by Mattie J.T. Stepanek)

Maybe,
Someday, We will all join hands
And live together ...
Helping each other,
Loving each other,
Maybe,
Someday,
We will all make the world
A much better place ...
And be like a gigantic,
Smoothly rushing river of peace -
A loving circle that nothing can break.
Maybe,
Someday,
We may start with just one person,
And one permanent peace agreement
Within one's self, within one's world.
Personal peace can then spread
Within and between the families,
Then within and between communities,
And then within and around the
whole world.
Maybe,
Someday,
We can become
As close to perfect
As anything and anyone can get.
Let us each join our own Heart song
With this old song of the heart, and
Believe ...
"Let there be peace on earth,
And let it begin with me."
