My hope for our world and people who walk it is to
Live in concert regardless of differences,quit modernizing and glamorizing hate.
Be bold enough to love everyone with a deep understanding that tomorrow is not promised, and time is to be courted respectfully.
Let’s stop weaponizing food,love,color,diversity,age.Let’s be human…again.

My hope for our world and the people who walk it is ...
Like the wasp in autumn,
we learn the joy of living
Is free flight
from the sting of war

Where are you going, somewhere sunny, warm, beautiful?

well exotic is the married me, a thorn to the loveliest of roses, enchantress of the East, Singapura's Muse,

and Seoul, cause she is crazy and tired of transiting through Taipei.

“My hope for our world and the people who walk it is to...
Be true to themselves, a shining example
Like the warm glowing sun rising bright in the east
Embracing life, while showing tender gleams
a comforting smile, despite the blinding rays of light

Country: Nigeria.

Your words have been passed to Owl, the editor who will place all the eventual offerings in alphabetical order and post them as a whole at the end of November or the start of December. :)

Okay, Thanks once more :)

My hope for the people and who walk it, is to be confident, and not just stick everything in their pocket,

It can’t be difficult to see a difference in emotions, and an interstellar rocket.

A gift can be given not just by wealth, but by something as simple as a friendship locket,

But friendship is a two way street, so make sure it is solid, or else the friendship has fallen.

“My hope for our world and the people who walk it is to…”
Bring a smile make merry
Earth has plenty Take it easy,
Life can be beautiful with trust and sympathy

My hope for our world and the people who walk it.

In this radiant season, may kindness illuminate all paths,,
With hearts wide open, we shall spread warmth through the dark,
We should be united, breaking all those barriers that divide,
My hope for this world is peace, with love being our guide.

Thanks for posting this lovely collaboration Emma.🤗🤗

[Someone's]

My hope for our world and the people who walk it is
That the earth hums with the quiet of healing,
That souls find light in the darkest of seasons,
That each path is softened by the grace of compassion,
And love blooms eternal in every heart’s garden.

My hope for our world and the people who walk it is:

Let us look to our hearts for the reason we came.
Let us gather as one and sing in his name.
We shall set our souls free on the wings of a dove.
Bow down to Allah and rise up in love.

Michael Sun Bear, Seattle, USA
Peace to all.

Peace on earth and good will toward the human species, probably isn’t enough…why? Because the only species bequeathed Logos… uses it badly.

Joy to the World…one individual’s treasure, is another’s trash…the internet of things has semantically transformed the word ‘individual’ into a divisive, egocentric, obtuse caricature.

Twenty years ago, there was a social mantra, “I wish I had the time”….which ruefully evolved into another, too easily adopted mantra: “Nobody cares”….how irresponsible.

The hope? If instinctively, you know right from wrong, if deep in your gut, you know the difference between wholesome from predation, and if you are courageous enough offer a strong, calloused hand to your fellow human, without selfish expectation- then maybe, just maybe, precious hope might survive into the future.

A hope for this world that I hold dear
Is for all of humanity to live without fear
No evil, no monsters, no sickness within 
Simply all of us, living life til the end

This is a wonderful idea! Im honored to be invited

My hope for our world and the people who walk it..

The silent night with cracking snowflakes,
Not the sound of missiles, not ashes in the air.
The silent night with the hope of a peaceful morning.
The tears of joy and laughter, not screaming pain.
