God had the right idea
when he prescribed a utopia
for all near and farLove thy neighbour as thyself
(He said)
Don’t leave them forgotten
like an old book on a high shelf“Mourn with those who mourn
rejoice with those who rejoice”(So I’m thinking..)
What a wonderful world it would be
if I should always think of you
before I turn my thoughts to me
To reach for your hand
and ask you what you need
Indeed….
What a wonderful world it would be

I LOVE this poem. God did have the right idea, but it will take all of us to manifest it, one person at a time.

It would indeed be a utopia. But first, we have to start with our neighbors that live in the house with us. a lovely loving write.

In such a utopia there would be no crime, a wonderful world indeed, Viv:

before I turn my thoughts to me
To reach for your hand
and ask you what you need’.
