flags of all the
nations wave
in rows as teams
present their colors
the world in
graceful harmony shines
we cheer and
celebrate our oneness
yet can we lift our
spirits high
when all around the
globe is bloodshed?
we can make it go away,
but stay?
the dust has settled
because of love
the fear beyond the
brink has pushed us
over and over the
barriers fall
the differences are
so small, so small
now while the party
after the games
roars with lights
and song and dancing
let us claim the kindness
of our souls
to pave the way in
deliberate steps
and as we pass this
world to our children
may the word,
“hatred,” be obliterated
so hand in hand we
take this stand
to remember our
sisters and our brothers
are the ones who
fuel that fire of love
so in time we know
the importance of
each life, each
breath, each hug, each step
toward the soaring
grandeur of tomorrow
