"Supporting the Light"

How Long?

 

Each time I look around me

At this world's treasure store.

I find I stand in awe aghast,

When e'er I think it o'er.

That God saw fit to make

In all its wondrous ways,

This world so bright so beautiful

And worthy of our praise.

 

 

But then I look around me

And see what man has done,

For although he's come a long long way.

He’s a long long way to come.

Before he learns to live in peace

Considering each other.

And seeks in harmony and love

The well-being of his brother.
