A Place Like No Other

The alarm goes off
I hit the snooze
The news is on
And it’s not good
I want to go back in to my slumber
I want to dream of a place like no other
A place where dreams float upon the air
Where you can reach high and take your pick
A place where peace, love and compassion reign
Where the innocence of our children is not at risk
A place where they can grow strong and stable
Where never a harsh word could be spoken
Or a clenched fist raised
A place where war has no meaning
A place where men and woman don’t have to
Die to be free
A place where tears turn to laughter
A place where the sense of loss becomes
A little less heavy
Until that exists in the world
I’ll continue to dream of
A place like no other
