Perfection Personified

Pansies’ purple faces would wink and smile Each girl would make just one trip down the aisle We’d have a clear view of constellations And find angel wings in cloud formations Summer days would be spent beside cool brooks All would find comfort reading the “good book” Peace would reign; no nations would engage war Each child would have food and not want for more Harmony would be found within each man All of Earth’s people would be of one clan There’d be no tornadoes or hurricanes Not one creature would be restrained by chains Seaside walks lovers would take side by side Tar balls would never wash in on the tide People we love would live eternally All would be blessed with immortality Effects of pollution would be reversed Bubbles of happiness would never burst Good judgment and wisdom would be revered Rewards would come to those who persevered Living symbiotically with nature Ma Earth would take a new nomenclature “Universal Consciousness!” All are one As morning rituals welcome the sun Tree branches would spread, make way, feeling blessed To have been chosen for a robin’s nest The only roars heard would come from the sea Where dolphins parade perpetually Mankind would always live free of disease Cherubs’ songs would be carried on the breeze Make haste, don’t delay, such perfect days wait Like Atlas, let's shrug, and relieve the world’s weight

From MGM to Ayn Rand, well, I must say you were ambitious here. I like your sentiments. I wish that it could be that way, too. I really do. But... How are you? Best wishes to a great lady from Gerard

Carolyn, I have a question. Will it be like that during Armageddon? Satan bound for 1,000 years and peace on the earth...ruled by Christ with His great wisdom. I think it might be so. And signs of the times are increasing. So, we might not have to wait that much longer. SMILES on this poem. Love, Dane Ann
