If Only
When we say, If only, it leads on to a wish
Be it for a sunny summer, or to catch a bigger fish,
For honest politicians, for zero income tax
A world without Al Queda, or more time to relax.
Usually it’s someone else, we think should make the change
But if we turn the words around, our lives we rearrange.
For Only if, we Do something, can we help to right the wrong,
Only if, we shout aloud, will we be heard above the throng,
Only if, we decide, can we change what might have been,
For Only if means action, while If only’s , just a dream.
George Potter
