What I Want

I want a world 
Where kindness is held
To be the way it’s meant to be
And it is enough to be alive and free

Just to live your life 
Far from trouble and strife
I don’t want to recreate
The older times that some contemplate

Just for all to be in happiness
And find a laugh in everyday jest
I’m sure I’m not the only one
When all is said and done.
