Would That There Would Be A World Poem by Susan Williams

Susan, I pray every day for such a world.

Profound, we all want this world to become like what you think, may be our collective efforts will help our offspring to see and dwell in that world. Let us hope for the best. Thoughtful poem. Nothing less than Full stars.

A powerful poem with a meaningful message. I hope and pray there will never be war again. It must always be abhorred. Beautifully conveyed and crafted. To my Poem List

I profusely admire the poet's quest for peace reflected in this great poem. Top score!

That will come to pass one day when the meek inherit the earth, great poem Susan

Superb! A wonderful composition...5 stars

This week PH shows considerable improvement (for me) over what it's been for months. I may even visit a LOT MORE often than i did for months. bri ;)

Susan, Google's note said that 'would', as used by you' is an 'old-fashioned' use, with a different meaning, meaning 'wish'.

I won't argue against your 'wish'. I looked up 'would that' and found this: ' The form would that is effectively the same as wish that or would rather that.'

Excellent Oh Wow! ... Dear Lord we pray! .. Deeply moving filled with such heart and beauty! .. May there be peace for all! .. Definite 5 Stars! ..+++++
