The BIG If


If I had a family that really cared, I'd never have to experience being scared.
If I had friends that were truly true, I'd never have any feelings that were blue.
If I had a knife, I'd cut my heart in two and give a piece to each of you.
If I had a gun, I'd shoot the sky hoping in return God would give me the strength to survive.
If I had your love, I'd handle it with care and treat you as if you were the only one there.
If I had a smile, I'd cherish it with yours hoping it would last for infinite years.
If I had a sword, I'd shove it in the ground to prove I don't care about the things that surround.
And If I had my If's, I'd be immortal for life because even when I died, I'd have all the strength to survive the fight.
