If Only

If only I had wings, I would stretch them and fly,

Fly away across the horizon, rest only when I have soared high.

If only I had a chance I would escape and meet my mate,

I'm gripped with loneliness, not knowing what is in fate?

If only I had a single wish, I would embrace my love,

Who is away in distant shores, be with him and sit pretty as a dove.

If only I had the bounty of love, I would spread it amongst those,

Who are down-trodden, without a shoulder to lean on or hug someone close.

If only I had the power to see tomorrow I would erase,

All events that threaten the prosperity and well-being of the human race.

If only I had a magical wand to turn someone's wish true,

I would touch the life of a child, fill it with happiness and bid his unhappiness adieu.

If only I had the grace to live a life till eternity,

I would pray to God to let me chant HIS name in his vicinity.

If only I had the power to create my own speech,

I would fill it with the name of God and spread it beyond the realms of reach.

If only, oh lord there are no ends to our desires and wants,

All I want is space by your feet, your love and grace is all what the heart longs!
