I Would...If I Could...

Folder: 
Soul Poetry

If I were able to share my strength

with those who are weak,

I would...

if I could...



If I had the ability to give some of my hope

to those who feel hopeless,

I would...

if I could...



If I was able to take away pain

from those who are hurting,

I would...

if I could...



If I had the ability to show a brighter future

to those who only see darkness ahead,

I would...

if I could...



If I were able to tell how I dig myself out of a hole

to those who feel buried,

I would...

if I could...



If I had the ability to explain how I find my way

to those who are lost,

I would...

if I could...



If I was able to explain where my faith comes from

to those who feel forsaken,

I would...

if I could...



If I had the ability to explain how I cope

to those who feel they can't go on,

I would...

if I could...



I do not know myself,

that why,

in the face of what I deal with

that I am able to be so strong

hopeful and cope well.

But if I did,

I would share it with you...

if I could...
