Faces of war

hearts of fear

eyes of concern

need loved ones

near.

Reach out and make

yourself heard.

Stop the wars,

spend time making

life beautiful--

we only get one.

It would be a great world if people weren't worried about money and power and were more concerned about their fellow human beings and trying to be tolerant of others' beliefs and customs.

We only get one chance to get it right. Did you listen to Obama last night? Hope is in the wind.

I saw him and prayed he would be able to handle all that's ahead of him. He has the right attitude, I just hope he can turn things around.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
