A Parallel Universe

Imagine if there was a parallel universe Just a wee bit ahead in time To allow us to avoid all our mistakes A civilization most perfect in kind How incredibly amazing that would be A real chance to get things right It would surely be possible to end all wars To eliminate our desire to fight Finally all over this great planet Earth Peace and brotherhood would exist No hunger no famine no widespread disease Like Utopia rising from the mist I'd surely be lost if I couldn't imagine So call me a dreamer if you must Until proven beyond a shadow of a doubt In a better future I will trust Imagine if there was a parallel universe Where all of our dreams came true Till my dying breath I'll keep hope alive For a world with a sky ever blue! © Jack Ellison 2015

Just beautiful both in imagery and content! This heaven at our feet accomplished, by speeding ahead to correct and then returning. ONE TWEAK: Stanza 1, line 2- didn't you mean the "an" to be, "a"?

Dont think it would help Dragon be a better Hero... Think it would confuse him!... Tho it would help every body else... so they could RUN and get outta his WAY! Grandpa Troll agrees that it would be fun to try... Hey! If everyone knew what was going to happen... Who would have won... my squirrel or the hawk?

Yes that would be divine. Even my poetry then would rhyme. Good Morning Jacko...off to the soccer fields for my youngest.

Tim... Before you go to the Soccer Field... Maybe you should read my account of a real soccer game with my son, called "Soccer Crazy". Written in 8-16-2011. Kids do the crazy-est things!
