Imagine...

 Imagine, for a moment,

 that peace befell the land,

 that all of humankind

 reached out and held

 each other's hand.

 Imagine, for an instant,

 the touch of skin to skin

 proved so powerful

 a feeling every nation

 felt like kin.

 Imagine, for a second,

 love captured every soul

 of each citizen on the

 planet and the world

 was truly whole.

 Imagine, for a heartbeat,

 that hatred could dissolve

 and compassion rise up

 gallantly with blazing

 strong resolve.

 Imagine, in your lifetime,

 this chain of hope began

 and the link at its

 inception was your firm,

 extended hand.

 Imagine......
