Sharing The Dream

One night I had a dream:

I dreamt that I lived in a country where all lived in a spirit of... 
goodwill for one another.

I dreamt that in this country those who were in need of...
food, shelter, or medical attention - received it.

I dreamt that in this country that all children were raised...
in healthy and nurturing environments, free from harm and neglect.

I dreamt that in this country that it was for all a safe place to live.
And those who preyed upon or victimized others were held...
accountable and brought to justice.

I dreamt that in this country that all the people from different...
ethnic backgrounds, religious and non-religious persuasions...
lived in peace and harmony.

I dreamt that in this country, who you have become as a person...
is valued more than what you have accomplished or acquired.

I dreamt that in this country, the fortunate and the unfortunate...
were treated equally.

Then I awoke and thought... I'd share my dream with you.
