One Day

One day no one will go to sleep cold or hungry
One day everyone will sleep safely in a bed of their own
One day everyone will have access to clean water
One day access to healthcare will depend only on need
One day access to education will depend only on ability.

One day everyone will be free to practice their faith 
One day everyone will be free to express themselves
One day everyone will be free to love who they want
One day everyone will respect and value each other
One day we will see one of us not one of them.

One day there will be no more hate and violence
One day generosity will become stronger than greed
One day trust will triumph over fear
One day everyone will put down their weapons
One day the planet will begin to heal.

Today we are one day closer.
