This is my hand
a token of friendship,
outstretched in kindness,
humbleness and grace.

With it comes my heart,
open and loving,
the portal to my soul,
wishing peace unto all.

I imagine a world
with hands connected
across the globe,
where peace and friendship flow.

I've dreamt this dream
since I was young,
"Let There Be Peace On Earth"
my heartfelt theme.

My dream of peace
may seem unreal,
a fancy whim
of a little girl.

But even age
cannot subdue
the hope to see
this dream unfold.

I join my hand
in yours today;
Please accept it
with intent.

One by one
we change the world;
Hopes and dreams
may be fulfilled.
