If I Could If I could... I would... Gather tenderly close The frayed and ragged edges Of all your dreams That never came true... And I'd weave therefrom a coverlet Of compassionate, comforting warmth, And understanding tolerance, To wrap you tenderly about When... The fires gone low within your heart, Your being grows cold and weary... Afraid! If I could... I would... Straighten and strengthen, Quietly...surely... The foundations Upon which you have built Your faith in life, That the timbers may not weaken Nor crumble in dust away, To wound and hurt you sorely, I'd make them True tree-pillars that grew long years Straight and high... Toward God! If I could... I would... Build thereon a structure With its inception grown From faith and understanding, That your heart... And your thought... Should be filled with surety And peace, And wherein you might dwell In confidence and trust, 'Mid hopes transformed from dreams Into the vivid soul completion Of Reality! If I could... I would... People your mansion With those whose tenderness And healing strength would fill Your days...and nights...and years With warmth and light, Until its shining portals needed not Some outside sun To cast its radiance at your feet. I should place as sovereign there, Tranquility...to reign supreme, Until some other Dawn Shall bid you leave, And set you...once more... Free! If I could... I would... Oh...I wish...I could! |

If I could, then I would.. If I can, then I am... Unfortuneatly sometimes we cannot change things no matter how hard we try. Beautifully told Rex.. Isis *The heart of education is the education of the heart...* ~Isis~~Sovereign of the Spirit. |
