Notes About The Poem

My Granddaughter Jemma when she was 8 years old.

Imagine

Imagine if flowers bloomed all year.
Imagine if everyone could live without fear.

Imagine if the earth was warm all year round,
And a fix for Global Warming could be found.

Imagine if there was one religion for everyone.
Do I hear you say these things couldn’t be done?

Just imagine if Buddha, Allah, God, and all the rest,
Came to earth and decided it was best,

To form an alliance a firm friendship reigned,
And from this, an end to all Holy wars was gained.

Between them they managed to convince,
All world leaders to form a pact and unite ever since.

The world to be one country and no more wars.
Its citizens all thriving in shared wealth for one cause.

Imagine if hunger, injury or illness did not exist.
Obviously none of these would ever be missed.

Ugly or disfigured be beautiful in the eye of the beholder.
Everyone naturally getting more lovely as they grow older.

Vehicle and plane crashes didn’t happen and boats never sunk.
No matter how they drank people never got drunk.

All children were loved with care and respect.
No child ever experienced cruelty or neglect.

Violence is all in the past and never to be repeated.
All animals respected and never be mistreated.

Everybody had enough and there was no waste.
Kindness ruled supreme, and was never misplaced.

No such thing as enemies, because in the end,
Your enemy is gone when you make them your friend.

Just Imagine…………………..
