If hearts were a little more caring
And eyes were a little less blind,
We might see, through the magic of sharing,
How easy it is to be kind.
If minds were a bit more revealing
And hands were more willing to greet,
We might give to each other a feeling
Of friendship whenever we meet.
If we could tear down all those roadblocks
That separate races and creeds
We might free from doubt's rusty old padlocks
Our oneness in hopes and needs.
If we would let tolerance guide us
Where ignorance has not let us go,
We might turn back the foes that divide us,
The evils that weaken us so.
Then somehow we might find that highway,
Fog-hid by our own foolish pride,
And, shoulder to shoulder, some bright day
March up it to God's love-lit side.
~ John C. Bonser
