Perfectly This is My World



Now what's my perfect world?
this does make one ponder
so many things need put right
let me take you on my wander

People be respectful of each other
get back to known for smart wear
with manners being a top priority
go out of your way, show we care

In former years had good neighbours
wish that would once again return
so everyone cared for one another
no matter the cost so a good turn

But the real need of our hour
is for righteousness to reign
so that man turns to their creator
for forgiveness from sinner's pain

Never will this world be ever great
till God's kingdom on earth dwell
living out that 'sermon on the mount'
before its too late till God rings His bell

This would be my world perfectly
where peace works together with grace
showing the best could ever be
now that would be so very ace

About this poem

What would be my perfect world? So this is my answer to that question.

I have loved poetry for a number of years but in past 17 years have written my own. My favorite poets are Emily Dickinson, William Blake, Robert Frost, Katherine Mansfield, and Christina Rossetti. I also like to read, listen to classical music but also like other types of music, walking in the countryside. I am 69 and have been happily married for 33 years to Christine and love to regularly attend church and enjoy the countryside together. more…
