If Only Poem by Audrey Heller

If only the world would be different,
how happy I would be! To have it
back the way it was, is what I'm
longing to see. If only there weren't
any pressures, that plague us everyday.
If only I had the power, to make it go
away. If only for just one moment, I
could live in peace. Not let myself
think about tomorrow, or what it may
bring. If only I could laugh again and
listen to my heart sing. If only we could
all come together, let us pray for this
turmoil to end. If only this could be
accomplished, then for certain, we'd
have the chance, to mend!
