Imagine, for a moment..............that peace befell the land......................that all of humankind reached out.............and held each other's hand...............................

Imagine, for an instant..............the touch of skin to skin..................proved so powerful a feeling.............every nation felt like kin..................

Imagine, for a second................love possessed the honest soul.......................of each citizen on the planet.............and the world was truly whole........................

Imagine, for a heartbeat..............how quickly hatred would dissolve....................and compassion rise up gallantly.................with blazing-strong resolve.....................

Imagine, in your lifetime,
this chain of hope began
and the link at its inception
was your firm, extended hand.
