For One Brief Moment (Our Christmas Wish)

Buzz and I stumbled upon this poem written in the aftermath after the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School. It is our Christmas wish.

For One Brief Moment

For one brief moment, not too long ago, there was no hate.

For one brief moment, there was no war, no pain, and no suffering.

For one brief moment, there was no hunger, no tears, and no bigotry.

For one brief moment, there were no arguments, no fights, and no prejudice.

For one brief moment, there was nothing but love, beauty, and compassion.

But as suddenly as that one brief moment appeared, it was no more.

The dreamers among us know that someday that one brief moment

will return and last an eternity.

Merry Christmas to one and all.
