A Safer Place
A Safer Place
By Carley Lovito
I dream about a safer place
Where we can go to stay
I dream about a place where I can raise my kids one day
A place where we dont have to fear to learn or sing or pray
I dream about a safer place where guns have gone away
I look around to those with weapons, both on the tongue and bearing arms,
Have we lost the ability to find peace without harm?
I imagine a world where my family will know I'm safe when I'm not home
I cannot go to school, or work, or even church alone
I dream about a safer place
A place I hope is earth one day
I dream about a safer place
Where we all can be okay
