THE CURE

When one day we hear the words,

“We have found the cure!”

A shout will be heard round the world,

Of this you can be assured.

There won’t be any more illness, hospitals or pain,

It will be our miracle, where only joy will reign.

Our children will know playgrounds, instead of hospital beds,

Our children will know restful nights, with peaceful dreams instead.

Our children will know release, from pain they have so bravely endured,

Oh, how our hearts shall rejoice, “When we have found the cure!”

Our children who have never walked, will step to mom or dad,

Our children who have never talked, will say the words we knew they had.

Our children who have behaviors, will know inner peace,

Our children will only know happiness, their daily struggles ceased.

Rare diseases, untreatable, no hope, those words will be obscure,

The shout will be heard round the world,

“When we have found the cure!”
