Poem I found on the net

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.
