We Need

We need to find love and peace,
To hold each other once at least.
Not to hate and go to war,
That’s not what we were put here for.

We need all people to join hands
No matter they come from different lands.
To live in perfect harmony
With each small insect, bird or tree.

We need the love of one another,
To be able to call each man brother.
To set our sights on higher goals,
To watch and learn as life unfolds.

We need to learn that we all vibrate,
The trees, the rocks, but at a different rate.
Ancient cultures learned this lesson,
We can to, if we stop and listen.

Let’s join with nature in her sweet song,
And please to bring a friend along.
To take the challenge, to sow the seed
To show another……..We need.

My only wish is that this small rhyme
Will help someone at another time.
To find their way, their truth unfold,
To take the step, to find their soul.

I have had to resubmit this as there seems to be a problem with the first submission and it couldn’t be read correctly. Even though, it was one of the first works that I submitted and people had been able to read it in the past.

    Really like this Les :)

  • Thank you Alison…I wrote this several years ago and posted it in RB a couple of years back as well. I t seems that RB have changed their formatting and if you have a blank space at the start of any line it stuffs up their new system. I originally had this centered on the page and it worked..people could read it…but the new system corrupted it.

    Writers need to be able to sell their work here ………..

  • Rb are working on it as the following email shows….

    After consulting with your development team it appears there is a bug whereby formatting issues arrise when a rogue “space” is entered at the beginning of a paragraph. The formatting bug is something we’re currently looking into fixing to prevent this from happening in the future.

    Are you able to go through the works to make sure there at no spaces at the beginnings of paragraphs?

    After deleting any rogue spaces, clear your cookies and resubmit the work. Hopefully this will clear up the issue to allow for the lovely formatting you have in your other works.

    We thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    Kind regards,

    Thomas
