If In My Life

If in my life I could end one person's strife, If I could dry up just one tear Then joy from me you will hear. I would continually wear a smile on my face, Which sadness could not ever erase. If in my life God had given me a wife, Who to keep and hold and love at my side In my eyes there would be a never ending joy and pride. There would be a twinkle in my eye, And everyone would know just why. If in my life I could play a piano or a guitar or a fife, I would then write and play a beautiful melody Then everyone would smile happily. Then I would add and play another string, Where everyone would just dance and sing. If in my life I was given a long sharp knife, It I would then most happily take I would then slice a piece of cake. I'd give a slice to anyone who would ask, Then in their happiness, I would bask. If in my life If hate and sadness and hurt wasn't rife, I'd wonder what I would do I wonder if I would even have a clue. If only I could follow the twine, If in this life of mine. Randy L. McClave
