Would That...

would that we knew, what fireflies know. would that we went, where the setting sun goes. would that our pride, gave way to our knees. would that our eyes, felt what we see. would that our prayers, had hands and feet. would that our minds, and our hearts would meet. would that our tongues, spoke familiar and true. would that the real me, met the real you! would that the bridge, be sure and crossed. would that love be our goal, and living the cost. would that today, would begin anew... would that we were conscious, of what we say and we do.. would that hand in hand, and side by side... would that we'd live, before we die!
