I wrote this poem when everything was wrong in my life and I ended up turning it in for an assignment. Unfortunetely i haven't gotten my draft back yet so this isn't the whole thing but i'll post the rest a.s.a.p!!

If Only Life was Perfect

IF only life was perfect,
We'd all have a blast!
No one would be sorry,
and love would always last.

Families would stay together,
not separating, no divorce.
Friends wouldn't be torn apart,
not by one single force.

If only life was perfect,
my grandma would still be here.
There would be no dying,
cuz that's my greatest fear.

Everyone would be happy,
no one would shed a tear.
There would be nothing like,
drugs, violence, or beer.

If only life was perfect,
AIDS would never be.
Things like that just wouldn't live,
I wish that was up to me.

The grass would grow greener,
right on your side.
You'd never have fear,
you'd never have to hide.

If only life was perfect,
trouble? What is that?
There would be no yelling,
and dogs wouldn't chase cats.

We'd all live in harmony,
no work, all play, that's it!
Nothing would be wrong with our perfect world,
not even a little bit.

If only life was perfect,
it'd be great it seems.
It fades away so fast cuz,
oh, its just a dream.

If only life were perfect…

Excellent argument, my dear, but I am afraid life remains as fractured and thoroughly imperfect as it was and always will be. At any rate, the poem was very good and I await the end of it. I am not sure as to what you meant in the last line, but separation is quite possibly the most searing, poisoning pain I have ever know, but even it fades.
Grr, contemptible reality!

Everlasting love, a dream indeed! Well, all i can say is that some dreams are worth dreaming.

Nice ending BTW!
