If Only

If only to write the way
  a new wave breaks


If only to write the way
  a rainbow forms

If only to write the way
  the moonlight calls

If only to write the way
  a baby’s born

If only to write the way
  the dawn explodes


If only to write the way
  a mountain stares

If only to write the way
  a rose unfurls


If only to write the way
 —God’s love we share
