if i could

if i could, I would,

pluck the stars from skies

A bouquet for your weary eyes

and smother every tear that you’ve cried

–

if I could, I would,

mend the worlds great divides

honor every child who has died

and dry every tear that has been cried

–

if I could, I would,

wrap the globe in my arms

ask all of the legions to disarm

Shelter the vulnerable from harm

–

but I am mere man

and the world is the so grand

and things seem out of hand

i cant see where to stand

–

–

…………then, I Stop

…………and think of you

–

I remember that i can

become a better man

start inward and expand

from the heart to my hands
–
If i can, i will try

to bring hope to your eyes

to start chain world wide

one person at a time

moving outward,leaving behind
–

all the tears that world ever cried
