if i could,
i'd wish a magic wand.
if i could,
i would build dreams
brick by brick
the kind
one could hang on to
one could live in.
if i could,
imagine
upside down
rainbows
so the sky
baby blue
would look as if
it was smiling.
my bestest hope
wipe away the tears from
the hungry
the abused
the sickly children
and elderly.
this first,
fore all else,
yes the children and the elderly.
if i could,
replace every tear with a smile
a hug
a tickle
if i could,
snap my fingers make money obsolete,
plenty for everybody to share.
clap my hands medical care everywhere would be there.
in my heart, live dried out tears.
there, i hear the pulse of our planet.
so many good people,
people who care.
there's a black venom
such a small dose
affects the masses.
if i could,
supply all with the antidote.
if i could,
i would build an arc
sail 'till the world was cleansed
move in with everyone
on one land.
call it OURS.
yes definitely OURS.
i like that name.
i can't.
i can't do all those things.
i can kiss where it hurts.
give hugs freely.
give what possessions,
i can do without,
share my physical wealth.
i fear nothing.
least of all poverty
happy to share what i can.
i can offer you my love
love comes easy to me.
it never feels like enough.
but i am here, arms wide open.
tell me what is it you need, how can i help.
i love you, unconditionally.
[I came across this poem on this website called Poetry Soup. It was so raw, so beautiful i couldn't help but re post it here. Whoever you are Yvonne, know that your words resonate with me, and affect me like things haven't in a long long while. You are one beautiful soul, whoever you are.
