What If

What if we lost, the Great Pyramid of Giza? What if it collapsed, the Roman Coliseum? What if the Great Wall of China, was suddenly gone? The Hagia Sophia...was nothing but a song. What if Stone Henge, had never been found? The Machu Picchu...laid deep underground. What if the Taj Mahal, had only been a dream? The Great Empire State Building...fell apart at the seams. What if the Golden Gate Bridge, was not there to cross? The Victoria Falls...dried up with no cause. What if no eyes, were ever laid on the Great Barrier Reef? The CN Tower...fell flat at our feet. Try to imagine the Chichen Itza, with no morning sun. That the old city of Jerusalem...had never been done. What if the Aurora Borealis, had never been there? The Grand Canyon walls...were all flat and bare. For all of these wonders, how sad would it be. If none of them were here, for the whole world to see. With a heartfelt sigh and one teary sniff. I sit and I wonder...what if.
