If only there were memories
that never gave us scars.
If only hope fell from the skies
as faith reached towards the stars.

If only you were someone else
who knew just what to say.
If only I could wake you up
before the break of day.

If only I had let you know
before the chance had gone
If only honest words were said
some hope my have lived on.

If only doesn't mean goodbye,
or so that's what they say.
If only words could mend a soul
then maybe you would stay.

I can't control
my destiny
I trust my soul,
my only goal
is just to "be"

"If only" is a common wish that, when turned into a prayer, will be answered.

Good thought presented here

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. Philip Sidney (1554-1586) Loving in Truth

How many "If Only's" we carry in life...This was a beautiful and thought provoking read.

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...

Thank you all so much for your comments on this poem. Much appreciated. It is so true that if only's can really bog us down sometimes. I try hard to avoid this in my life..
