Daddy What If? Poem by Shel Silverstein
Daddy What If?
(Daddy what if the sun stop shinin' what would happen then?)
If the sun stopped shinin' you'd be so surprised
You'd stare at the heavens with wide open eyes
And the wind would carry your light to the skies
And the sun would start shinin' again
(Daddy what if the wind stopped blowin' what would happen then?)
If the wind stopped blowin' then the land would be dry
And your boat wouldn't sail son and your kite wouldn't fly
And the grass would see your troubles and she'd tell the wind
And the wind would start blowin' again
(But daddy what if the grass stopped growin' what would happen then?)
If the grass stopped growin' why you'd probably cry
And the ground would be watered by the tears from your eyes
And like your love for me the grass would grow so high
Yes the grass would start growin' again
(But daddy what if I stopped lovin' you what would happen then?)
If you stopped lovin' me then the grass would stop growin'
The sun would stop shinin' and the wind would stop blowin'
So you see if you wanna keep this old world a goin'
You better start lovin' me again again you better start lovin' me again
You hear me Bobby you better start lovin' me again
You love me Bobby you better start lovin' me again
So you see if you wanna keep this old world a goin' You better start lovin' me again ….Love makes the world go round! Wonderful!
The chids inquisitiveness has become the dads anguish and his (dad's) craves for the childs love which for him is the light and life. A great poem

What would happen then if sun stops to shine the world if the wind stop to blow around if the green grass stop to grow up more Oh What would happen then if writer stop to love his parents or if writer stop to love his beloved What would happen then maybe love would lose it's own shining like the rising sun, freedom like wind blowing, graceful like the green little
If you stopped lovin' me then the grass would stop growin' The sun would stop shinin' and the wind would stop blowin' So you see if you wanna keep this old world a goin' You better start lovin' me again again you better start lovin' me again You hear me Bobby you better start lovin' me again You love me Bobby you better start lovin' me again........it's a poem of love through enjoyable poetic expression; delightful to read this one
