If Only, Maybe, Sometimes'

If only,Maybe,sometimes’ I am the root of 
the idea that you plant 
in your soul with a firm grip taking hold

If only,Maybe,sometimes’ I am the whisper 
of the leaves talking to your conscience 
that only touches lightly like a breeze

If only,Maybe,sometimes’ I am the 
fragrance of flowers that smells of comfort
for all of your waking hours

If only,Maybe,sometimes’ I am the sound of 
rain that lulls you into a dreamless sleep 
and wakes you up when the clouds are no more

If only, Maybe, sometimes’ I am the colour of 
the rainbow that brightens your day and 
makes your troubles vanish away

If only, Maybe, sometimes’ I am the hands 
that hold you close and feels cool to the 
touch and comforts when your feeling low
