In My Perfect World...

In my perfect world......
     I would spend my days where I have loved and laughed
       Where I have gone befriended
         With assurance in the wind, such things are never ended
      
  I would spend each perfect day in my perfect world
        Beneath the sun that warms my shoulders
          And even then, when day is over
            And twilight comes, and night is cold..
              Stars will shine and moon will hover
                Yet I'll keep warm beneath my covers...

       I'll be acquainted with the gentle moon
          As it takes a path upon the lake
              And tall green grass that bends and shakes
                   And trees that whisper when evening comes
                        With troubles none, without a care, or worry's weight

      And when I sleep, the stars in the sky
           Will smooth my dreams in quietness
               And all the world in peace will rest
                   And precious souls around me blessed...

     When morning comes, without a guess
         I will awake to meet my day
             A day of God, a day of family, a day with friends
                                               A day of laughter....
                                                     And love that lasts forever after....
