    IF (Inspired by Kipling)

    By Pablo724  |  Posted February 16, 2009  |  Stockbridge, Georgia
     

     

    IF 

     

     

    if a broken heart

     

     

    begins to mend

     

     

    and a rigid mind

     

     

    is moved to bend...

     

     

     

     

    if a hungry soul

     

     

    is fed and blessed

     

     

    and a rolling stone

     

     

    comes home to rest...

     

     

     

     

    if the rich and poor

     

     

    could find a way

     

     

    to close the gap

     

     

    and save the day...

     

     

     

     

    if a battered wife

     

     

    survives the night

     

     

    and eyes once black

     

     

    now see the light...

     

     

     

     

    if a cure is found

     

     

    for cancers rare

     

     

    and a mother's breast

     

     

    the knife is spared...

     

     

     

     

    if a curious boy

     

     

    learns how to read

     

     

    and a homeless man

     

     

    earns his first deed...

     

     

     

     

    if a frigid frown

     

     

    thaws to a smile

     

     

    and a spirit down

     

     

    skies for a mile...

     

     

     

     

    if Cinderella

     

     

    finds her lost shoe

     

     

    and the lonely girl

     

     

    keeps her love true...

     

     

     

     

    then these few lines

     

     

    would make my life's work

     

     

    most complete and fulfilling...
