The bombs have caused death and destruction and the families mourn their dead <br />But there is hope for the future for better days ahead <br />When those for peace and World harmony will finally prevail <br />For those who talk of waging war are surely doomed to fail. <br /> <br />There is hope for the future though I may not live to see my dream <br />Of a better life for everyone in a World where peace will reign supreme <br />A World free of borders and camps for refugees <br />Where the smell of death and destruction is not blowing in the breeze <br /> <br />There is hope for the future around me not all dark <br />I hear young children playing in the playground in the park <br />The children are the future and they may well unite <br />Behind a peaceful leader who won't lead by power of might. <br /> <br />There is hope for the future and all surely not lost <br />Though there won't be peace tomorrow and 'twill come at a great cost <br />The Rose of Peace will bloom again though with the dead I lay <br />And the young and enlightened leaders to peace will lead the way.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-is-hope-for-the-future/
