Of All the Worlds

Sunshine, blue skies, flowers
Laughter, soccer, super powers

Friendship, Chocolate, Smiles
Puppies, Love, Seeing for miles and miles

Oceans, Books, Traveling far
Kittens, Children, Wishing on a star

Ice cream, Poetry, Staying up late
Families, Painting, Going on dates

Television, Green grass, Swing sets
Hot food, Movies, Flying in a jet

Hiking, swimming, Going to the beach
Popcorn, Polar bears, A juicy peach

Those are things I love, with many more
But now see what else is in store...

Death, Falling, Gray skies
Disease, Rotten eggs, Horrid lies

Killing, Weapons, Wars
Slavery, Servants, Chores

Car recks, Drowning, A game lost
Evil, Revenge, There's always a cost

Villans, Pirates, Broken bones
Poachers, Energy wasters, Cracked ice cream cones

Polluting rivers, Atom bombs, Scabbed knees
Explosions, Stubbed toes, Falling from trees

Getting burnt, Paper cuts, Ripping things apart
Fighting, Crying, My broken heart

Try not to think of the bad, But love all as one
That's all we can do in this world, under a glorious sun
