Gilded Dreams

You are my home
I feel your warmth everywhere I go
I taste the happiness one and the other should have
I had built my dreams in you, with you and for you, my Mother
Many times you have been down
Abused, and beaten down by the foes of the past
And the demons, making you a conquest
When you should never ever be..
But I, and many others, promise my Beautiful Land
That together, we will rise again
We will summon up from the clutter of nightmares from yesterday
We will create new dreams and hopes
Side by side, we will fix you, color you with peace and love
We will keep you strong with our hearts, where we always keep you
Yes, we will rise again
As we heal from our broken past
And no longer will we carry the heartaches
No longer will we hold our grudges
My Mother, we will move on
And a new path we will take
For the better, the blessings of tomorrow
And the children that will continue the promise "today" had made.
