Joy Dare & a Perfect World

22. one grace wrinkled, one grace smoothed, one grace unfolded
      a. a letter you write but never send
      b. taking said letter out of garbage
      c. words that contain all those things never known

Today, I am having trouble finding my joy. It's lost out there some where in a perfect world that lives on only in my imagination. In this perfect world the word you speak is the word you keep, hearts aren't broken and dreams dashed. Our expectations of our loved ones are always lived up too and negativity is always positive. In this perfect world babies are valued and mothers respected, fathers are treated with honor and grandparents cherish their grandchildren.
Birthdays are never forgotten and toys abound. Promises are fulfilled and actually mean something, truth is never hidden and feelings are never hurt.
Sisters are friends forever and share each others high and lows. Differences are varied and encouraged.
No one is treated as though they are stupid or told they are bad, people respect each other and kindness is spread.
No one is less than a priority on another's list. All are made to feel that they matter, you matter they say..
Harsh words are never spoken that crush a person's soul, death is celebrated as part of life and birth as newness.
Families really love each other regardless of who each person is. They listen and take an interest, family is important and loving God above all else.
In this perfect world men walk with integrity and women are treated as diamonds never battered or abused. And women love their men truly letting them be men.
Mama's put their babies before themselves and sacrifice all.
In this world LOVE prevails...He walks with us and talks with us..LOVE is all in all...

This world isn't perfect though because the one that is isn't.
