In an ideal world
there would be
no pain and
suffering for anyone
to bear. There would
be only good health
and happiness
surrounding us
everywhere.

In an ideal world
there would be no
war. The foreign
peace summits would
be needed no more.
The Bin Ladin’s and
Hessian's of the
world would be over
thrown and disappear
from this life.
There would be no
terrorist’s fears
any longer; all men
would be free to
wander.

In an ideal world
there would be no
hate for our fellow
man. We would accept
all our differences
and reach out with
compassion and love
through the power in
the touch of our
hands.
In an ideal world
there would be no
hatred or killing
our fellow man. We
would all love and
respect each other,
oh life would be
grand.

In an ideal world
money would grow on
trees. We would walk
out our door and
from our debts would
be free.
In an ideal world
we would all be “A”
students and be born
with the knowledge
we need to succeed.
Homework, I don’t
think so; exams
would all be stress
free.

In an ideal world
the work week would
be three days to be
followed by leisure
and entertainment
for four. Deadlines
not a worry,
month-end maybe one
report, job related
stress would exist
no more.
In an ideal world
every day would be
filled with sunshine
and the aroma of a
fine wine. No more
cleaning after
cooking for the
family, honey look
how much we have on
which to dine.

In an ideal world
the flowers would
bloom all year
through. The leaves
on the trees would
always sparkle with
dew.
In an ideal world
a loaf of bread is a
dime. We could still
get candy for a
penny just like the
old times.

In an ideal world
we would prosper
and all our dreams
would come true. No
more struggling for
ends to meet or
rearranging the
bills according to
when they are due.
In an ideal world
disease and despair
would be a thing of
the past. We would
have a cure for
every disease that
would strike us down
and chronic
suffering would not
last.

There is no ideal
world we can
escape to in the
grasp of our pain or
suffering or the
pressures in our
everyday lives. We
must meet our
challenges head on
relying on our faith
and determination to
overcome what might
defeat us
otherwise.
  
We can lean on each
other when the
battle might be
lost. We won’t
buckle under to
these evils, not at
any cost.

I lean on you today
for the strength and
reassurance that I
might have the time
to be here for you
tomorrow. I take
your power of faith
and your belief in
the possibility of
miracles, and I hold
this deep in my
soul. All of this, I
only borrow. Time
may be short for all
we know.
Even if I can't
defeat this
challenge in my
life, I will never
stop wanting to be
everything for you-
the best wife,
mother and
grandmother, would
be my wish, if I
could make my life
brand new.
Every day
that God grants me
the gift of my life;
I thank him for the
privilege of
existence and ask
him to give these
gifts back to you.

In an ideal world we
should all be
grateful for the God
given gift of life
and realize this is
not our “right”.
Let
us all appreciate
that we have each
other to lean on
when the stress of
reality overshadows
our might.
Hindsight always
seems to be the best
sight.
Take time out
now to praise God
for everyone that
has been in you
life, and be the
best you can be with
all of your might.
