If I Could Create Just One Perfect Day

Should God grant me the power to create just one perfect day,
I would create the most perfect day for all peoples in every way.

There would be no war or strife, only longed-for blessed peace.
Love, compassion and brotherhood would reign without cease.

Cures would be found for all diseases and the blind would be made to see.
The homeless would be housed and hunger would ever cease to be.

World leaders would reason together and there would be no more greed,
And the message of The Golden Rule each and everyone would heed.

Little children would be free from physical abuse and molestation.
All religions would work together for harmony without hesitation.

From domination by despotic leaders, all peoples would be free.
All humanity would respect each other, the air, the land and sea.

Should God grant me the power to create that one perfect day,
Would it not be possible for ensuing days to be ideal in every way?
