If only....

If only....

A Poem by Fran Marie

if only


the world was shaped


  in form of a heart


                       showing compassion in


every part..


to the highest mountain


          river, valley and stream


showing brotherly love..


  the ultimate dream


 

 mankind across every land

                  

              speaking words to each other


of peace...showing we understand



                                   that all wars would cease


             putting an end to the hate pouring rain


erasing a  blood terror disease



                          cleansed by God's heavenly reign



if ~only,

   

             if ~only....

Lovely lovely wish! Shows that you heart is as big as the one you are wishing for all. I loved your use of word placement. Many times it really adds nothing to the poem and actually makes it harder to read, but yours slowly trickled down the page leading the reader from one phrase to the next. a wonderful image you have painted with the words of love. ~Jan

Thanks jaycee, so vey much for reading and for the review, much appriciated,
I too wish for our kind to finally stop killing, hating, judging, propagating, and just live amongst each other in harmony and love. And to respect and pay tribute to Mother Nature, because by killing and polluting one another, we kill parts of her as well.

Yes, that's so true, thanks, Nadia, I so appriciate your review..
If only.....how true. Reminds me of the sentiment in the John Lennon song, "Imagine". Peace is something we all hope for, but it seems it is never quite reachable. Great rhyming in this one. I enjoyed it. Lydi**

Thanks Lydi, so very much appreciate your reading and review:
Yes, if only! What a sorry state this poor old world has become. Actually, not the world, when left alone it would likely carry on quite nicely without humanbeings plundering, killing, destroying and every imaginable horrible verb you could thinking of.

I agree with Coyote.....let's pray that its not too late!

Great write Fran Marie

Kind and hopeful words. You know I feel the same way.
"that all wars would cease
putting an end to the hate pouring rain
erasing a blood terror disease "
I wish this for the new generation. I hope we haven't pass the point of no return. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

you are welcome...:)
I agree... "if only"... as the song says, "what a wonderful world this would be"... yes ma'am!... it does take "compassion" and "understanding"... you got my vote!.. I loved the message, the construction, and the flow.. it was "dreamy"... beautiful spirit + talented pen = awesome experience.. lovely as always.. you know I am a fan:)

You're more than welcome, it is always a pleasure
what a great dream...one Martin Luther had also---one we all developed in the 60's---and it is still just a dream, unfortunately...it will take immense undertaking for it to come true....lots of understanding and compassion. "if only..."
