If I Could....
By Mike Hall
I'd like to look into your eyes
and tell you that this nightmare will vanish in the morning
or take you on an ocean cruise......in hopes that
cancer couldn't follow
If I could, I would take you to the
happy, carefree places of your youth
To the hideouts where sunshine and
laughter rule the day
We'd go whitewater rafting
and have hot dogs on the shore
I'd pray that the roar of the river
would be your refuge and that God would speak healing words to your heart
I would take you on a mountain climb
To the summit of a snow capped peak
And I'd look into your eyes again
asking you to keep faith in The One who is Higher than all
At night, while you are sleeping,
I'd pray for His strength to uphold you
For His peace to surround you
And for one special angel to guide you
I'd wake you in the morning
before the dew has left the grass
We'd thank Him for another day
And enjoy the mile walk to the beach
There we would stare at the blue water stretching forever
And watch the seagulls cavorting in the breeze
We'd see the mountains in the distance
And know that God is bigger than disease or disaster
We'd have lunch on the pier
And I would take your hand in mine
Once more I'd look into your eyes
And tell you how much I love you.
