Skyler Mclaughlin Poet Lyric

If I Cannot

I can see the light through the window,
It's brightness reflecting off the mugs nearby,
I am standing still in this light,

I close my eyes and begin to wonder,
Where would I be without this family?
Where would I go without this roof?
Putting my own world into perspective,

I bring myself back to earth, 
So that I may be the best person I can be,
And hopefully just might make your day a little better.

I want happiness for others if I cannot have it,
I want peace for beings if I cannot have it,
I want beauty for them if I cannot have it.

So that I may be happy,
For this moment, 
In unison,
With them.
