I Dream of a World of Peace

I dream of a world of peace,
Where people can live a life of ease.
World where there is no difference between rich and poor,
Life being pleasant for living ever more.

I dream of a world of happiness,
Where there is no sight of selfishness.
Where each and everyone can get their needs,
And have belief in their deeds.

I dream of a world of kindness,
Where people can know that value of love is priceless.
Where people could realise that of earth we are all children,
And to have a kind heart is better for all men.

I dream of a world of loving mates,
Where people can realise all are great.
Where people can know that in this earth,
With a kind heart people must give birth.
I dream of a world of peace,
Where people can live a life of ease!
