Perhaps … Someday … Perhaps … someday … I'll understand, The nature of my human clan. Perhaps … someday … I'll recognize, The reasons for our own demise. Perhaps … someday … I'll comprehend, The depths of hate we cannot mend. Perhaps … someday … I'll figure out, My teachings that are filled with doubt. Perhaps … someday … I'll reason well, The purpose of this living hell. Perhaps … someday … I'll come to know, Through lessons taught, and learn to grow. Perhaps … someday … I'll realize, Beyond just what I theorize. Perhaps … someday … I'll grasp the cause, And fathom all that ever was. Perhaps … someday … I'll see the light ... Perhaps … someday … but not tonight. /Kit McCallum [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 09-18-2001).] |

Mankind is such an arrogant sort.. It refuses to learn from the tribulations of its forefathers. If we could just heed their words - Worldwide peace would have a much better chance of being... Thank you for your very special introspective words, my dear friend.. |

Dear Kit, really enjoyed your words, great thoughts which got me thinking as well. Thanks for the sharing. Rick Perhaps someday we'll live in peace Build on love, just piece by piece Treat each man and woman well So stories of earth's love we'll tell Perhaps someday the worst will be The last goodbye when joy we see The best to see our children grow And in their future love just know Perhaps there won't be questions why The shortened life and sad goodbye Just a world of love and peace Where smiles and hope all find release |

Nan: If "man" could only just learn ... why is it so very difficult? Sigh ... thank you for your wise sentiments Nan. Oodles of hugs to you ... Marge: Always wonderful to feel your warmth and heart in your responses dear friend. Many, many hugs ... Rick: This was a most beautiful poetic response Rick, and as a sequal inspired by you my friend ... I offer my thanks, and this verse in return ... Hugs ~*~ Perhaps ... Someday ... Perhaps ... someday ... we’ll dwell in love, Amongst the world we’re dreaming of. Perhaps ... someday ... we’ll live in peace, And revel in it’s sweet release. Perhaps ... someday ... we’ll sing a song, Of hatred past, destruction gone. Perhaps ... someday ... we’ll garner hope, And truly find a way to cope. Perhaps ... someday ... we’ll understand, And join our hands across the land. Perhaps ... someday ... we’ll make amends, And view our neighbors as our friends. Perhaps ... someday ... we’ll stand as one, Together all, our sorrows done. Perhaps ... someday ... we’ll reminisce, Upon a life so richly blessed. Perhaps ... someday ... we’ll see the light, Perhaps ... someday ... begins tonight. /Kit McCallum ~*~ Much appreciation to you all, /Kit [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 09-18-2001).] |

Kit this was so wonderful and your last line is about right, perhaps someday...is today? When will they ever learn? Someday. ~* If you want a rainbow, sometimes you just have to put up with a little rain *~ |

and what is so terribly frightening is that we all have some capacity for anger, some capacity to explode. It's love that keeps us pure. -befriend yourself and you will never be alone- |
