What If? What if the world slowed down? And people started to discover What true freedom is about and what life really is I can see it now People having the ability to think past today Without everything spinning out But the truth is Life is going a million miles an hour In this life A stop to smell the roses can prove to be fatal What if tragedy was non-existent? And children found their loved ones Right where they imagine them to be everyday I can see it now The biggest smile followed by a hug of the same nature Tears of joy streaming down bright faces But the truth is Heartbreak happens and everything stops for a second But as time goes on You take emotions, lock them up, and try to move on What if you could take His love? And spread it throughout the world To the people who are in dire need of it I can see it now People on their hands and knees not knowing why With the feeling of unending love upon them Without having to say a single word to someone Their brokenness disappears and they realize They aren’t beyond hope, because all heads can be lifted up But the truth is It isn’t that easy, The mind gets so wrapped up in sorrow That a savior becomes an enemy because they didn’t accept Him Why is the truth so hard to swallow? And What if the world wasn’t filled with what ifs? |

True life is not such a nice place, that is for sure. as I have found, life is your state of mind, you make of it what you wish and order from life your desires and your hopes. Life is a test which our souls wish to take, they wish to experience situations and evolve more, step by step, to their place beside God. Our journey in the end was unique and one that history and the past will recall, we must try to live and enjoy each day till end. Enjoyed the read, thanks for sharing. Rick |

A poem full of irony. Your point is well taken. I suppose one of life's truths is that the good comes with the bad because knowing what events are bad helps us to distinguish the good things in life. That just means we have to cherish what is good in life all the more. Nice write and welcome to the site, Kristabell |
