I want to be positive about what's to come...
I want to feel safe to Run and Dance in the Streets and the Sun.
I want to feel safe without having to purchase a Gun.
I want to Live long enough to meet my great-granddaughter and great-grandson.
I want to Laugh at Jokes that are actually funny.
I want to cry from tears of Joy versus Tragedy.
I want to be able to afford to have a Cavity.
I want to want again not only need.
I want to prosper not only to succeed.
I want to be Present not in Disbelief.
I want to acknowledge my Insecurities while not being harrassed by Security.
I want to be made in the shade of my Money Tree.
I want to live in the Land of Milk and Honey with the Birds and the Bees.
I want to hear the Choir over the Chaos.
I want to be able to separate the Madness from the Mayhem.
I want to not feel so guilty about having so many wants.
and I want you to Know...
No Matter What Happens, I'm Still Going to Want What I Want.
