My cousin writes on fb often about John Lennon – his birthday – the day he died – she misses him.

She loves the song Imagine that he sang.

Imagine all the people living in peace

What a world that would be, right? In the years I have lived on this big blue marble there have been miracles of life, technology, growth. There have been years of miseries; wars, famines, disasters, and lately killings after killings . . . senseless all.

I will name no names here. I will give no uplifting of such crazed warmongers.

I will continue to pray for a better world for my children’s children and theirs beyond. I will continue to pray for the blessings from a Father in whom I truly believe. I will pray for understanding . . . or at least peace in my misunderstanding. I will pray.

You, you may say
I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
