I wish, I wrote you a poem,
That could sing, comfort & love,
Calm all disquieting thoughts,
That lay hopes in stones.
I wish, I wrote you a poem,
That could Mend broken hearts,
Give deeper meaning to love,
Calls the stars, to peace & cheer.
I wish, I wrote you a poem,
That could undo hurts & sorrows,
Swallow up hates & crimes, that
Lay dooms in everyone bones.
I wish, I wrote you a poem,
That could make everyone wiser,
Give insights to love and cherish,
Sow humanity, sow obedience.
I wish I wrote you a poem,
That could declare God’s love
Help grasp his name, as Jehovah,
His blessings, his mercy to man.
I wish I wrote you a poem,
That could explain life and death,
Life is conscious, that he will die,
But death is conscious of nothing.
I wish I wrote you a poem,
That could give hopes & dreams,
Declare everyone, worthy & beautiful,
blacks or whites, the rich or the poor.
