A DREAM I WISH FOR
Kathy Dingus
I
have a dream, a man once said
Well,
I have a dream also,
I
dream that I dream over and over again,
as
if by dreaming. it will be so.
I
dream that God's love covers,
the
whole world from end to end,
and
I dream that everyone is filled with His love,
and
views one another as friends.
I
dream that hunger is no longer
and
I dream that wars are just dreams
and
I dream that I am now with my Father
and
I dream that all who lived now Believe.
I
dream not only for the children
whose
laughter again now peals
I
dream for all of the aged and sick
who
now, by God, have been healed.
And
I dream for all the ones in the middle
who
are neither here nor there
I
dream that they will want to be useful
I
dream they will someday care.
And
I dream of God the Father
and
of His Holy Son
And
I dream of His Holy spirit
and
how together we're as one.
I
don't know if I want to ever waken
from
my dream, so often dreamt
let
me forever slumber, Lord
let
me live, let me love, and repent
let
me die with you within me,
and
may you cradle me in the palm of
your
hand forever.
