Such a small word is “if.” It is a small word in that it only has two letters but the impact of the meaning of the word means possibly or possibly not. It is in itself a question. The next poem is my attempt to take a small word and show its true size.


Poem Artwork

If I get out of bed today

I may find only trouble and dismay.

 

If I do not get up today

My life may simply fade away.

 

If I get in my car and drive somewhere

I may end up almost anywhere.

 

If I simply stay and ask what if  I die?

I may find that life simply passes by.

 

If I live life with all my heart

I may find that I was able to love impart.

 

If I try I may only find I fail.

I may feel like I only chase my tail.

 

I cannot allow myself to quit.

If I do this I may find that only sit

 

And ask myself what if I had?

If I had tried I may have been glad.

 

Glad that I had not asked so much and only tried to live.

For by doing this I find people to love and love tthat I might give.

Lew, This is absolutely outstanding. Yes, "If"...a two letter word with one heck of a punch! Loved it! Now there's a mysterious word for you... IT! Let's challenge each other to write a poem about "IT" shall we?

God Bless
