If I Should Write a Poem
If I should write a poem, my last,
To celebrate my birth,
My cause would be the charity,
Of every soul on Earth,
The legacy of those who live,
Is more than who they link,
The legend of a life, untold,
Is standing on the brink,
If I should write a song, my last,
My pen would sing the rose,
The sweeter scent of beauty brings,
Such glory to my nose,
The gift of life is nature's bloom,
A melody to those,
Who hear the song and find the rest,
In nature's sweet repose,
If I should give a speech, my last,
To say my goodly part,
Then I would speak on what I know,
The feelings of my heart,
The chance to serve the ones who lack,
Is how we learn to live,
The more you love the more you have,
A bigger heart to give,
If I should run a race, my last,
My finish line to face,
My fervent wish would be to find,
The strength of my own pace,
To do the most that I can do,
My limits more to test,
And thus confirm to this, my soul,
I did my very best.
