Only if... <br />I could stop praying while walking, <br />Standing & with my eyes open. <br />Guard my talking, <br />Thoughts but mostly my pen. <br />... <br />Only if... <br />I could live to impress- <br />Not the created but my creator. <br />Stop seeing within a woman's dress. <br />Be myself and less of an actor. <br />... <br />Only if... <br />I could play fair. <br />Stop being a judge. <br />Be simple and kind as lion's fur, <br />And hold no grudge. <br />... <br />Only if... <br />I could be down, calm & patient as stones of the ground. <br />I could focus only on my plate. <br />I could make use the phrase, ''lost 'n found'' <br />I could have unshakeable faith. <br />... <br />My creator would be proud to call me his own.<br /><br />Ntando.B Da poet<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/only-if-31/
