I'M ONLY DREAMING by Steve A. Politte

I gaze into the world I see
Somewhat different than before 
Could it be that it has changed ? 
Did the lion stop it’s roar ?

I see children who are fed
No starvation do I see 
Smiles upon all the faces 
How is this possible, how can it be ?

No one is in a hurry
But instead taking each ones time 
I marvel at the sight before me 
Could it be that I’m loosing my mind ?

People are embracing each other
No matter what race or creed 
Willing hands are helping each other 
All is peaceful and serene.

No tears are falling like rain drops
No sadness or evil it so seems 
Love embracing all who go there 
I’m only dreaming, I know 
but it don’t hurt to dream.

There is peace among all nations
No more fighting, no more wars 
Instead, helping each other 
To heal all the many scars.

It’s a wonderful thing to see
Makes my eyes want to gleam 
Oh how I wish it were so real 
But the reality is just a dream.

Family life has taken a twist
Children have both a mom and dad 
Health care is free for everyone 
Insurance companies have packed their bags.

There seems to be no more sickness
Cancer has left the scene 
Yes, I know that I’m only dreaming 
But it doesn’t hurt to dream.

I take delight in what’s before me
Angels about singing songs of praise 
Evil has lost it’s battle 
To God all voices are raised.

I don’t want to be awakened
From the gracefulness that all seems 
Yes, I know that I’m only dreaming 
But it don’t hurt to linger in this dream
