i wish the world were as pretty as flowers

i wish the world were
as pretty as flowers,
that days were counted

in loving hours.
that we could all fix what
wrong was done.
that there was no sadness,
just laughter and fun.
that somehow this time,
we could get it right,
life is short and always
one step away from
goodnight.
