Through My Grandchildren’s Eyes

ashan1614 on Aug 26, 2009

My wish for future generations.

Through my grandchildren’s eyes, I hope to see

A world with no more bigotry

Where they won’t be judged by race or creed

But by their principles and good deeds

Through my grandchildren’s eyes, I may discern

A workplace where all are free to earn

Not based on family social ties

And the privilege that “connection” buys

Through my grandchildren’s eyes, divisions blur

There’s no us and them; him versus her

But we recognize that we all are one

A global family living under one sun

Through my grandchildren’s eyes, I see love

Pure and untainted from God up above

My wish for them? That all will see

How much better our world could be.

I dont have grandchildren yet but it portray a future that will liberate humanity, a furture that may look like a fiction but will surely come to pass i like it

I’m sure I will feel that way once grandchildren come along.

I see what you meant. Thanks for pointing in the direction of this one. You know it’ll appeal to me through its rhyme, but the content is so close to my own heart too. Beautiful grand kids by the way. I’m with you 100 percent on this one. Thank you…

Hi there!
