Best Poems Written by Kaci Wallace

If Life Was Perfect

If life was perfect I would lay 
Beneath the clouds every day
Count the stars up in the sky
Let the daytime pass me by

If life was perfect twenty-four-seven
Everyone would go to Heaven
Every plant would grow real tall
And every kid would be good at ball

If life was perfect here on Earth
None of the money would be any worth
All would share and get along 
No one doing anything wrong

Well, life’s not like that now, you see
Not everyone’s right, not everyone’s free
Not all of the plants are really tall
And not all of the kids are good at ball

But, when you sit back and relax a while
Think of the things that make you smile
The grass is green, the sky is blue
You have some clothes and you’ve got two shoes

Even though there are deaths and wars
You’ve got some things to be thankful for
Though all of those tears may really be worth it
Life’s pretty good; it doesn’t have to be perfect
