WE WILL SEE WHAT CAN BE

WE WILL SEE WHAT CAN BE
Today a flower will bloom,
tomorrow another,

then more and more
until the earth is covered
in a blanket of vibrant hues,

the soot and rust
of tarnished regrets
and harmful human choices
for a time forgotten,

colorful vistas and luscious scents
will stretch across the lands,

inviting us to see what can be
when everything we cherish
is nourished,
when every human
is fed,
when every leader
is filled
with compassion,

we will see what can be
when nature guides our steps,
when our hearts join together
for a more loving, caring
and just world,

today a flower will bloom,
tomorrow we will see what can be.
