If I Could (Joseph’s Challenge)
If I could be a whisper on the wind
Words of love my lot to send
My life would be one filled with joy
As I’d send a message from a lover, coy
If I could be an arrow in Cupid’s bow
A shot of love I would bestow
To every person with lonely eyes
Filling them with loving sighs
If I could be the blush upon a rose
Of which poets write such lovely prose
I could inspire their words to all mankind
To shape our world with hearts that bind
If I could be a Peaceful Dove
Soaring proudly in the sky above
I’d drop my feathers on all below
That peace and freedom they all could know
If I could be a tree full of blossom
With fruit of promise so very awesome
I’d feed the souls who pass me by
That with a hungry heart no man should die
If I could know rebirth as something new
You ask me what it is I’d do
I’d do all in my power to teach everyone
That peace and love should reign under our sun

Your words are soft... they make me believe, they transport. I especially loved the last verse... 'peace and love reign'... Sigh... just imagine! Reading this was not just a joy, it was a gift. You've exceeded all expectations. Very cool! katy xox
