I Dream a World

We need a more peaceful world, growing out of more peaceful families and neighborhoods and communities. To secure and cultivate such peace, we must love others, even our enemies as well as our friends.

~ Howard W. Hunter (1907-1995)

I Dream a World

I dream a world where man
No other will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its paths adorn.
I dream a world where all
Will know sweet freedom's way,
Where greed no longer saps the soul
Nor avarice blights our day.
A world I dream where black or white,
Whatever race you bed,
Will share the bounties of the earth
And every one is free,
Where wretchedness will hang its head,
And joy, like a pearl,
Attends the needs of all humankind.
Of such I dream --
Our world!

~ James Langston Hughes (1902-1967)
