Hello! Welcome back to "Cybil's Scribbles"...my blog that I'm still getting the hang of writing. Today I'd like to share a poem with you that I wrote a long time ago, but I still find the words and the purpose of the poem true today...
If only the sun could rise every day
And set as if in a dream
If only the stars would always sparkle
And the moon filled the world with its beams
If only the rivers always flowed full
And the lakes were filled up, too
If only the ocean waves were gentle
And always crystal clear blue
If only the sky would never turn grey
And all the grass stayed green
If only the flowers would always bloom
And the streets were always clean
If only love could fill this world
And rid us of all the hate
If only happiness could replace the sorrow
And all things in life were great
If only you knew how much I'd like this
And how wonderful it could be
But realize that we can't have this
Because then we wouldn't see
We wouldn't see the beauty in the sunset
Or the twinkle in the stars
We wouldn't stop to smell the flowers
Because they'd be everywhere we are
If we couldn't see the ugliness
Then the beauty would never show
So I'm grateful for what we have
Because now, I know.
Cyb
