A Perfect World

I open the door
and breathe in the scent of my house
my kitten comes scurrying towards me
and jumps up to greet me

As I hold him in my arms
I hear voices in the living room
I quietly walk toward the door
and open it

Sitting there was my mom, dad
and their friend
Hi! I say cheerfully
they all smile back

After a nice chat with them
I prance back to the computer
tired from Track practice
and sign on

Sitting there quietly
I wait until my friends sign on
Yes! i murmur to myself
as 2 or 3 names come on my buddy list

BBL I say with a smile
after a wild conversation with my friends
time for dinner! i type quickly
hearing my mom from the dining room

As we finish saying grace
more talk about our friend's farm
is served as well as delicious stew and pasta
then my dad gets on his cell

Hey, John, why don't you stop by
John's here! Stay for dinner
Says my dad into the receiver
I hear the voice on the other side say okay

With the door wide open
We hear a car pull up
with smiles and laughs
we go out to meet him

More conversations about health and cows
follow that moment
And we talk and laugh
together as one

In a perfect world
this is how it would be
God, Friends and Family
all around one table
peace and laughter
go together as one

If we were all like this
would there be war?
would there be stealing?
or hatred?
the only way to know
is if we all try
to live in a perfect world
where everything seems so right
