My hope for our world and people who walk it is to
Live in concert regardless of differences,quit modernizing and glamorizing hate.
Be bold enough to love everyone with a deep understanding that tomorrow is not promised, and time is to be courted respectfully.
Let’s stop weaponizing food,love,color,diversity,age.Let’s be human…again.

Country: Nigeria
I am deeply honored to be part of this collaboration.
Thank you Emmajoy.

My hope for the world and the people who walk it is fading fast,
we're struggling to stay, in a world that won't last.
But still we hold on, to a light in the night
a glimmer of hope, that might make it just right.

Your words although sad, are beautiful - thank you, maya - third line.. yes, yes we do.

Should I pray or hope for the best to come
When wars are distant memory and past
For peace, for love and harmony therefrom
Where justices prevail for all time and last!?

“My hope for our world and the people who walk it is…”
To remember that diversity of opinion, thought, and philosophy isn’t what weakens the world.
The closing of the mind and shutting down ideas that don’t align with your own, leads to hostility and division.

My hope for our world and the people who walk it is
to blend the cultures and the music of the heart honoring the composers and creators of symphonies that combine the harmony of compassion and discovery of cures to heal the maladies that may come our way as we pray from every corner of the earth. Patricia Wedel USA

My hope for our world and the people who walk it is…
That South Africa’s song of many tongues may rise,
A harmony born from struggle and grace,
Where every voice, though different, belongs,
And unity turns our pain into a shared embrace.

[Dara]

My hope for the world and the people who walk it
To love more dearly
To think more clearly
To act more fearlessly
And to move more warily

My hope for the world and the people who walk it
The chosen path is too long,
but the legs never ache.

Because the hope is filled,
With these green caress.

My hope for the world and the people who walk it
Is more urgent action and less who just talk it
And to wish everyone a merry '25
As well as the hope we all make it out alive!

Lorry, Scotchland.
