I'd Like To Say...

~~Daniel J D~~

That the world is 'a wonderful'place
Just like Louis once did
That I would give away 'my kingdom for a horse'
Just like William once did
That I want to 'love' my mother 'tender[ly]'
Just Like Elvis once did
That I want answers 'blowing in the wind'
Just like Bob once did
That this was 'one small step for [human]kind'
Just like Neil once did
That we have to 'give peace a chance'
Just like John once did
That I 'will not move' from my seat
Just like Ethel once did
That slum children 'need to be loved'
Just like Teresa once did
That we share a lot in common
Just like we once did



Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)

Oh so true if only we would do as some before us has done. To me this poem says so much more than just words.

LOVED IT!   Very well done.  I really enjoyed.

To capture and live a moment is truly living

JD~
Just wonderful ! !
You get the creative thoughts going ...

And 'I have a dream',
just as Martin once did -

And we will 'love one another',
as He has loved us.

Most inspirational my friend.

Inot,
Thank you kindly, there are many others that stood in the name of a better world. This is just a small tribute to them.

Dreamkeeper,
Thank you, we can all say our bit. If we can't say it with words. Remember the young man in Tiannanen Square challenging the might of the military.

Marge,
You are a treasure, thank you so very much. You are so sweet.

Amy,
Thank you for the compliments. I am waiting patiently.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

I'd like to say some memorable things of my own sometimes also. This was a great poem.

Temptress,
I am sure you can do it. The great people that have been and shared their lives with us, must never be forgotten.
