I wish and hope for our world…”
When I was young the world seemed endless. I was overawed by everything it represented: an enormity of space, a cornucopia of life, but the tragedy of war, of need, of tears. Now older, I know there's far more to consider. With all my heart I pray the survival of this planet and its multitudes through wisdom, tolerance, empathy, unselfishness and most of all - LOVE. Emma Joy - UK
No snow in a land kissed by the sand and sun

May this yuletide season draw together hope for a more perfect tomorrow, to which hunger no longer prevails and the world over unites. Behold the eyes of a child, such preexist. Becky Corinne Strukamp (InYrDreams) ~ USA
I wish each have dreams to reach for,
Dream of a world that never cries,
Still the mind and calm the hearts of humankind just one second is all I ask - pause....and breathe. See the world and its children in its tortured frame, See that it's our only home - and time to change the game. C.R. ~ Ireland
In the arms of capricious cold There is warm hope There are bright spots visible And sparkle In pure inner strength in everyone Where faith and peace rest And love grows… Merry Christmas Elisa Laura (E.L.) ~ The Netherlands

NO HAY FINAL EN EL MUNDO,SI LAS PERSONAS TIENEN UN CORAZON LLENO DE AMOR, NO HAY TAL DESTRUCCION SI EL MUNDO SE RINDE ANTE EL AMOR, (There is no ending of the world if people have a heart full of love There is no destruction if the people of the world surrender to love There is no darkness if the love of Christmas is maintained in their hearts There is nobody that cannot break down barriers if that person has faith.) Lu Abimael ~ Guatemala
The crowd is cold and starving tonight, So the dancer breathes and their embers are stirred; And when she leaps they’re filled with light, And they share the flight of the firebird. And as the crowd continues to grow The dancer spins and the world is stirred; And when she leaps her rubies glow, And we share the dawn of the firebird. Makosica ~ USA
