I Don’t Want Her to Fear

I don’t want her to fear

The secrets whispered

In loud bushes

Of wars,

And of rumors of

Wars.

I want her to

Dream

Of a future,

Of hope.

I don’t want her

To worry

About a world

So full of hate

Instead

I want her

Love to

Shine through.

I want her

To look

At the world

With eyes

Of hope

In a dim

World.
