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.
