If it were a perfect world, there wouldn't be <br />homelessness, hunger or hopelessness <br />If it were a perfect world, there wouldn't be <br />tears, trouble or tantrums <br />If it were a perfect world, there wouldn't be <br />power, pain or poverty <br />If it were a perfect world, there wouldn't be <br />wars, weight or worry <br />If it were a perfect world, there wouldn't be <br />grades, guns or garbage <br /> <br />But we don't live in a perfect world- not even close. <br />And even if our world was idealistic, <br />we still wouldn't be happy <br />There is always something else that we want, we need <br /> <br />Take nothing for granted, be happy to be alive, <br />and every morning, when you wake up <br />you might just find your world is a little more perfect.<br /><br />Stephanie Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-it-were-a-perfect-world/
