My Perfect Little World

In my perfect little world, people greet,
they kiss and hug each time they meet.
Friends hold hands, and calm your fears;
they stick around to wipe your tears.

But in the world today, we just don’t care,
and showing love is somewhat rare.
When times are fun all friends are near,
then things get tough and most disappear.

In my perfect little world, we give and share;
we make it a point, to show we care.
We live to love, and love to live,
and find it easy to forgive.

But in the world today we strive on greed,
and crave the things we rarely need.
We step on others to get our way,
and hurt with what we do or say.

In my perfect little world, children smile,
and parents go that extra mile.
No child is ever harmed or hurt,
abused or treated just like dirt.

But in the world today most people cry,
and only pray in case they die.
We’ve given in to all that’s bad,
and then complain that life is hard.

In my perfect little world were all the same
and life is not a spiteful game.
People are loyal, honest and just,
and value the gift of friendship and trust.

But in the world today it seems,
we’ve lost all hope or goals and dreams.
Malicious acts are seen as witty,
I think it’s sad and such a pity.

There is no perfection in this life…. if there are angelic people… they may very well have a broken wing… but as the Martina McBride song goes.. even with a broken wing.. someone can still sing… sometimes the song is sad and sometimes tears come for a reason. To each and every area of life… there is a time andd season. But those are just some thoughts on my mind after reading this….

This was well written.. thank you for posting it.. keep writing and posting please!

What a beautiful poem and so true. I, too, in my perfect world feel the same that you do, but alas, unless something changes in this world today and unless we let go and let God…we are doomed, I believe…but in OUR perfect world…it is nice. Thank you for that poem.
