If Poem by Christopher Tye

If

If I made a mistake, would you forgive me?
If I die, would you mourn my passing?
If I found love, would you be happy for me?
If I fall from grace, would you stand by me?

If I could be a better person, would I be?
If I could change the past would I?
If I could change the world, would I make it a better place?
If I became rich, would I be a richer person?

If I could, I would end all wars,
If I could, I would end famine,
If I could, I would end hatred,
If I could, I would unite the world.
