Joanna Daniel Poet Rhyme

If Only

If life could wash away hurts, 
If life could wipe away tears, 
If life could give red alerts, 
When a hint of grief appears;

If life could take away pain, 
If life could tear away aches, 
If life could give joy again, 
When liquid sorrow dam breaks;

So wonderful would life be, 
If such things could really
Happen unfathomably, 
Life would turn out ideally.
