What IF…

By Susan Macknin

 

 

What if tomorrow’s the end of the world

What if next month I should die

What if our future no longer exists

Should I give up all hope and just cry?

 

What if more terrorists launch an attack

What if a hurricane hits

What if a tsunami wipes out our state

Should I merely exist in small bits?

 

What if I’m not the success that I dream

What if I can’t keep the pace

What if need to ask someone for help

Should I choose not to live just in case?

 

What if I reach for a goal and I fail

What if I try yet again

What if I learn valuable lessons this way

And grow to the power of ten?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What if I live and experience bliss

What if I gain happiness

What if I grab the brass ring of my life

And just maybe achieve success?

 

What if I do this in spite of my fears

What if follow my heart

What if I take risks and love what I get

What if you thought I was smart?

 

And what if it turns out I AM good enough

To achieve what I set out to do

And what if get to reach all of my goals

And follow my life task through

 

What if I don’t take a risk or a chance

And don’t trust the universe to try

It’s ignorance of life’s possibilities

And existing just waiting to die
