If only I could have everything,
everything I’ve ever wanted,
everything I’ve ever dreamed of.
If only I could have it all,
and know that I would never fall;
know I would always come out on top.
If only I could have it handed to me;
everything I could think to want
and know not the labor and stress
that comes along with work.
If only I could have one wish,
just one little wish,
to make it all better.
That’s not so much to ask for.
If only I could be with you.
To once again say, ‘I love you’
and to hug you every night.
To feel your warm, solid body,
held protectively against mine.
If only I could live a perfect life,
To know not disease and misfortune,
nor poverty and theft.
To know not of this painful sadness.
Nor to know of death.
If only I could,
I’d live a perfect life.
(Inspired by Abigail Lynne Becker’s “If Only” from A Box of Rain)
If only...a very nice write, unfortunately a perfect life generally reamains a perfect dream... all the same this poem merits a 10
