Imagine the Possibilities


What if we each had a reason to cheer                          

What if we all knew why we are here

What if we lived for every new breath

Would we even have time to think about death?

 

What if we had no reasons to kill

What if the rain washed them out of our will

What if we each planted one tree today

What would the sun and the sea have to say?

 

This world is a diamond though craggy and rough

It’s ours to cherish to polish and buff

Why must we listen to those discordant voices

Who insist that we make the very worst choices?

 

God gave us a brain in order to think

He expects us to use it for more than a wink

He molded this world full of beauty and life

Not to rack it with fear or fill it with strife.

 

No one has the all the skills that we need

It’s easy to fail so hard to succeed

Still we have the resources and most of the tools

Let 's not entrust them to knaves or to fools.

 

Can we sort it all out and call upon reason

Can we transform discord into harmony’s season

Can we find the resolve to pool our abilities

And reward ourselves with fresh possibilities?

This is one of your best Ed. Insightful and expertly crafted. Something like a lament but still uplifting.
