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.

You’re very talented :)

“When times are fun all friends are near,
then things get tough and most disappear.”
I love those two lines especially.

This is a heart felt beautifully written poem, every word is so true to life and how it should be,if everyone lived by this code what what a wondeful world we would live in. I am 72 years old and have read a lot of poetry but none as fitting as this.

I thought of my best friend and how we have driffed apart after knowing each other for 40 years because of how the road can go two ways. It makes me sad. I think I will share this poem with her and perhaps it will give her a wake up call. I have tried so many other creative ways. This poem touched my heart and I hope and pray it touches hers. Thank you for the inspiration.
