-if- Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

©-IF-

If rainbows weren't in color,
Would we love them just the same?
And If towns were just one soul or two,
Would we still give them a name?

If days were shrouded in darkness,
Would we still call them a day?
If a map now had no writing,
Would we each still know our way?

If there stood, only a single tree,
Would there still a forest stand?
Or If a sound fell on deaf ears,
Would it still be a sound so grand?

Such simple little questions
But, of us, each question asked.
A life can not be lived
Without each plan that we have tasked.

But, to You, we're now returning
With these questions still unanswered.
No worries now, for You have said,
This Life, My Child, you've mastered!
