Vision

I wish I could see the future, 
And then see it plain and clear. 
And hope it is full of love and joy 
And not misery or fear.

I wish I could see the future, 
And hope it is happy and care free. 
Not at all with cruel oppression, 
But with peace and harmony.

I wish I could see the future, 
And hope the world becomes respected, 
But since all these may just be a dreams, 
It may be hard to be expected.

I wish I could see the future. 
And whatever is the weather, 
Help to make the world a better place, 
And hope this then lasts forever.

Hi Stuart V - heartfelt with rhyming, running, rythm. Yea don't we all wish so much and so many things. But seeing and hoping are mutually exclusive as are wishing and believing.
Go well

I enjoyed this, Stuart. But be careful what you wish for! (Unless it’s the winner of next year’s Grand National, of course).
