"WHAT IF?"
“WHAT IF?”
WHAT IF NOBODY FELT ANGER
AND SHARED THEIR TALENTS AS ONE.
WHAT IF JEALOUSY WAS DEMOLISHED
AND ONLY KINDNESS REMAINED.
WITH LOVE, WITH FORGIVENESS,
WHAT IF THE WORLD WAS ANEW.
THEN THE BEAUTY AND CONDITION OF LIFE,
WOULD FILL THE SKIES OF BLUE.
THE PEACE AND JOY OF HAPPINESS
OF MANKIND WOULD BE AT HAND.
TOGETHER, FOREVER,
IN GOD’S OWN LAND.
“WHAT IF?”
