If?
Many ask me the questions,
if you could be anything what would you be?
Would you fly freely like a dove over the sea?
Or would you live a life of love and philanthropy?
I once met a boy who with words left me guessing ,
"Look up to the sky, do you see that dream,
it seems as though the dream is bursting at its seams!
Whosever it is can't seem to let it breathe."
It seems the boy meant to teach me a lesson,
Take that dream,
Help it to grow strong like an old oak tree,
Take care of it like you would yourself or me,
So I guess I have to mention,
That if I could change one thing, I would change the way people percieve themselves and their environment.
I would help them to stop asking questions that start with if, and move on to questions that start with how, and when.
I strive evreryday to leave this world a better place then I found it; and to help people believe in the light, love, and peace, that can be achieved through collective effort and conscious compassion.
If I could change one thing what would it be?
This is not a question to me.
A better question is how will I help the world lead?
