If I Were a Magician For a Day

I would turn:
Sorrow and pain,
to sunshine and rain;
thirst, to crystal clear springs.
Tears and hunger
to food and laughter;
hate, to love of all beings.
Gossip and greed;
aid for those in need;
wars to celebrations of peace.
Envy and pride
to gratitude and smiles
and herbs to cure every disease.
