how i wish
that life was easy
and i was perfect
and found
instead of lost
and love was forever
instead of fleeting
and trust was strong
hard and unshakable
and strangers were kind
instead of silent
and stories and opinions
were shared and heard
instead of judged
and feared
and crushed into pieces

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

I'll join you on that wishing.
Oh how I wish for all those things too. Loved your poem!
You have written my exact thoughts and feelings today Angela. Beautifully written. Thankyou.
Angela ... somehow you've put into words there the feelings and cries of my heart lately ... this is just such a beautifully raw piece ... just amazing! 🩷
There is a sadness to this and yet such a soothing flow. Well done, Angela!
The very human cry of this poem is the song of every heart.
Gosh, yes, I wish for all of those things too. This was so well written. Excellent.
This is a poignant poem, and the world it conjures would be vastly superior to our own!
