Imagine

Last week I was on a flight that was "bringing a soldier home." The color guard was in first class and the coffin was with the luggage below. The pilot requested that we remain seated and quiet when we landed and the color guard deplaned. I heard a woman behind me comment that her husband was in Afghanistan; she was pregnant and had a toddler with her. I started thinking about how God doesn't recognize national borders - He loves us all. John Lennon's song came to mind, so I thought I'd share the lyrics with my readers:

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
