If Only I Could

If only I could have the power,
I would make many changes.
Tears that come down like rain,
would all disappear.
People would feel love,
no more hurt and pain.
If only I could,
changes would come about myself.
Self would tell others,
a great big no.
Only smiles and laughter,
everything else would go.
If only I could have the power,
to buy this in a store.
I would buy a case for myself,
then a case or two maybe more.
I would give out,
with a great big shout.
For now I will dream,
until I have the power.
