In a Perfect World

In a perfect world there would be no pain. Sorrow would vanish in the gentle rain. Emotions unfold with every thought, Just to be happy with what you have got. In a perfect world the sun would shine bright. Dark clouds would be nowhere in sight. The stars would pierce the darkest night, Dream would appear, just take flight. In a perfect world there would be no need. Something would grow from every seed. The more planted, the more could grow, You could learn with still more to know. In a perfect world there would be no regret. Nothing to remember, so no need to forget. We would see things as they truly are, There wouldn’t be a distance that was too far. In a perfect world I would know what to do. But at this moment, I barely get through. Emotions still unfold with every thought, I see what is, and dream for what’s not.
