I wrote this for my children. They inspire me to be a better person.

A Poem for My Babies

If I could dream a dream forever,
The morning far away,
I'd dream a place where hate is gone
And love is here to stay.

No war, no crime, no poverty.
No ignorance or greed.
A place where peace and harmony
Are all we'd really need.

If I sent a wish up to the sky
Then surely it'd come true.
I'd wish and wish with all my might
For happiness for you.

If hope does spring eternal,
Then it can never die.
I hope a smile will take the place
Of any tears you cry.

If I sing a song right from my heart,
I'll sing out strong and loud.
I'll let you know you're special.
You make your mama proud.

If I send a prayer to God above,
He'll answer back for sure.
I pray he protects and guides you,
Blessing you forever more.

I'll dream, I'll wish, I'll hope, I'll sing.
I'll say my prayers for you.
And as you grow more everyday,
May you do those things, too
.

A lovely rainbow sentiment. You might consider in stanza 2, making "or" "nor". Thanks for sharing.

I love all those verses. there simplicity is their beauty. i'll save it to my book of quotations. a 10 from me.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
