For One Whole Day Poem by Bob Blackwell

For One Whole Day

Rating: 3.9


Imagine peace
for one whole day
throughout the world.

No people killing,
no destruction
no angry words.

One whole day
love is fostered,
with give not take.

One day of peace,
can save so many
give time to heal.

Time to escape
misery, famine to
live in other place.

Time to vaccinate
against disease,
time to enjoy quiet,

of a peaceful day,
to rest with no fear
of harm to come.

That must be worth
a lot of blessings.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I pray the same. but I know it won't be. I want peace for kids most.. too many live in fear. it is saddening. your poem made me smile... give peace to those around you, then they would give to those around them. and it would spread.

Profound thoughts from an extraordinary poet. If only we could experience that day. But even if that perfect peace does not come in our time, we can make peace person to person across all barriers of race, culture or creed.10/10. Always your friend, Sandra

It should be so every day, but I suppose I'd settle for one to start with. Reminded me of John Lennon's 'Imagine'. The world has enough natural disasters without people killing each other too. Ruthie

It all begins with the first day. I may not be able to do something for ever but I may be able to do it for one day. What a great Idea I'm in I'll promote this idea wherever I go to day. Paddy

For one whole day - so little to ask, so much to gain...Like John Lennon's 'Imagine' it fades into darkness, thank you for drawing our attention back to the importance of a small step at a time for world peace
