Just Right
in the right days
 and the right times
 with just enough nickles 
 and just enough dimes
 
 with bread and butter
 and a knife to spread
 with arms and legs
 and alive and not dead
 
 with clothes on your back
 and a roof over your head
 with soft pillows and sheets
 and a nice comfy bed
 
 got some jelly and bread in the morning
 and a nice hot cup of tea
 got places to go
 and some friends and family to go see
 
 always having some type of fun
 hangin out, rockin out
 usually something dumb
 generally interesting to more than some
 
 fighting and arguing
 things that are sad and bad
 but happily ending
 things remembered only as experiences you've had
 
 wills getting stronger
 wings growing wider
 connections going longer
 and friendships going farther
 
 piecing puzzles together
 solving questions of life
 finding reasons why we even bother
 reasons why we even fight
 
 balancing our thoughts
 between feelings of hate and love
 standing out
 like a beautiful white dove
 
 everything is just right 
 the world is taking flight
 with a righteous fist
 and a voice of might
