If Only

When you come into my town, it would be the best experience anyone will ever have.

No tall buildings. Mom and Pop stores all around. Everyone you see will wave, say "hello," and ask "how ya' doing?" No one will look at you as if you are some weirdo or alien that just crashed landed. Nope. Not my town. My town offers an abundance of smiles. Always ready to help even though you never asked. The air swirls of fresh baked goods and all around you see happy faces.

Barbeques in everyone's back yard while laughing children play. No one yells. No one fights. No one blames anyone for anything. Just one big happy town.......

I awake smiling but realize, I am in "my" hometown; I drag myself out of bed and look out my window and sigh. What a nice place that would be if we all could love instead of hate. I am going back to sleep..........
