If only I could...

By Channa

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

If I could change your yesterday for a happier tomorrow if I could beg you to stay and take away your sorrow... If I could fetch a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and keep you from getting old... If I could wipe away your tears grant you perfect happiness if I could have you near for complete blissfulness if I could take away your pain the broken heart, the loneliness... I would do it in a moment! without a second thought I would, like an angel descent to give you hope, without a doubt! but I too, hurt as you do For you see, I am human too But if I could, you bet I would!! Yet I know, not so far away There is a certain Someone He will forgive your yesterday He'll help you to carry on He'll give you a better tomorrow Give you the grace to live today and wipe away your bitter sorrows... Don't let self pity keep you on the shelf, go on living, give of yourself, forget the past, get out of your shell by loving others, you'll do your part let the Son shine brightly in your heart the love you sought so hard to find you will see, is there in your mind. But if I could you know that I would Make your nights as bright as a summer day stop the rain from drenching your way move the mountains if only I could catch a star, give you a rainbow I would love you and your tomorrows If only I could...
