If Only.....

If only

If only my tears
Could cry a river of love

If only my tears
Could bring balance to a world gone mad

If only my tears
Could make right the wrongs

If only my tears
Could make others wake up

If only my tears
Could protect our children

If only my tears
Could heal the sick

If only my tears
Could allay my fears

If only my tears
Could stop the wars

If only my tears
Could stop the profiteers

If only my tears
Could erase the hate

If only my tears
Could change our fate

If only my tears
Tasted like chocolate

If only
I see your love shining out from my furry friends faces, when I look into their eyes. I see you in the flower’s smile, the rainbow, and the wind in the trees....

I appreciate ladies who love the simple things in life; like a song on radio this morning, momma telling her son to keep it simple and she wants only for him to be satisfied in life -- "something simple and easy to love".

Thank you Spiritwind (&Edythe) for these great poems. Probably what i enjoy most on EE!!

(Poetry addict)
Brotherhood falls asunder at the touch of fire!
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not coloured like his own, and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
~William Cowper
