If only <br />everyone about to pull the trigger of a gun <br />imagined the shell hitting his own family <br />what a world <br /> <br />if only <br />everyone remembered how they loved <br />their teddy bears or dolls, asking nothing back from them <br />and lived like this for the rest of their lives <br />what a world <br /> <br />if only <br />we could keep the environment as clean and happy <br />as the seaside <br />what a world <br /> <br />if only <br />everyone who cut down a tree <br />planted a tree in its place <br />what a world <br /> <br />if only <br />you would add your own deepest hopes to this poem <br />and all your friends agreed <br />what a poem <br />what a world<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/0006-if-only/
