In a place so idealistic
That its magic created smiles
In so many comforts
That my heart would melt
With pure satisfaction

In a house of pure delight
With the charm to cuddles you
I would reside in pure ecstasy
In the comfort that cradles me

In a wife that would be an angel
For she would have to be
To put up with my fantasies
I would devote my life’s love

In a holiday greeting
That extended all year around
The peaceful serenity here
Would bless your soul

And on Christmas day
The miracle of living life
Would be renewed as a ritual
In the prayers of mankind

At my special table would set
All my children
From all the nations of the world
With the diversity of God’s love

No hate would be seen on this day
In this place blessed with the miracle
Of getting along as a diverse family
In the pure innocence of living together
As a family of united nations

In the peaceful preaching’s
Of all the religions of the world
We would reinforce what love is about
In the self respect of all individualities

In the holding of the hands
The hope for the next generation
Would seek the faith within all of us
In the hope that bigotry in any form
Could be exiled out of existence

As my extraordinary children
Would find their way home
In cultures as varied as landscapes
The home they found in a fairy tale
Would open their eyes
That miracle can and do happen

Thought: If I could give the world its greatest gift, it would be peace, a miracle in itself.

Thank you for this. I'm holding your hand right now.
