If I could walk on water
If I could calm your sea
Perhaps you'd take a second chance
And trust your heart to me
If I could make your sun shine
If I could rise your moon
Perhaps you'd really look at me
And see you left too soon
If I could bring you wisdom
If I could mold your dreams
Perhaps you'd know just who I am
All is not as it seems
But then I'd have to wonder
Whose purpose was defined
Would you have made these choices
Had I not controlled your mind?
Linda, this is so easy to read and written so lovely. Beautiful. I loved it. Don't change the title it fits this piece like a glove. I've given it full marks. Your opening two line captured me straight away on this. David
To accept the perfection of the way things are; to feel contented with yourself as you are, warts and all - that is the message of this profound piece, written simply and sweetly. Your IF is beautiful, Linda. love, Allie xxxx
I just loved your poem so very much. I specially love this 'IF' subject... just posted some poems today with this big IF. I just loved the begining stanza of this poem.... Perhaps you'd take a second chance..... loved this line!
Bridging the differences, closing the gaps between lovers, old or new, but especially old is a problematic business. Maybe better to work with acceptance of them as the final stanza implies in this terrific piece of quality poetry. Fluid, rhythmic and plaintive. Excellent Linda. jim xxx
