If You Could.... Poem by david lessard

If You Could....



if you could heal the world,
where would you start?
if you could save the deaths,
would you save them all, or just a part?

if you could bring things back,
and change the way they were,
what would you change,
what memories would you stir?

if you could empty hearts of wrath,
if you could soothe the savage breast;
where would you begin your chore?
where would you begin your quest?

if you could mend the broken walls,
if you could tame the hardest soul;
where would you begin to work,
to fill the deepest, empty hole?

if you could sing the highest praises,
that only sweetest sounds can bring:
if you could give contentment with a voice,
to which awesome God, would you sing?
