Poem: In My Dreams

By: Francisco Alarcón

En Mis Sueños                               In My Dreams

los búfalos rondan                         buffaloes roam
por las praderas                             free once again
libres otra vez                                on the plains

las ballenas                                    whales become
se vuelven cantantes                      opera singers
de ópera del mar                          of the sea


los delfines son                              dolphins are
admirados por todos                     admired by all for
por su ingenio y alegría                  their smarts and joy

en mis sueños                                in my dreams
no hay una palabra                        there is no word
para “guerra”                                 for “war”

todos los humanos                        all humans
y todos los seres                          and all living
Vivientes                                      beings

se juntan como                            come together
una gran familia                           as one big family
de la Tierra                                 of the Earth

This poem is significant because it's about a dream where all humans and all living beings will come together as one big family. Also in this dream there is no word for "war" meaning that we all love eachother. As Christians we know that this is only a dream, but we also know that when Christ comes again this dream will be true.
