What if there was no sunshine
To warm us each day
What if there was no water
In which children could play
What if there were no trees
To give us our shade when we are hot
What if there were no lessons
That through life we would be taught
What if there were no clouds
In the skies high above
What if there was no other person
To whom you could love
What if there was no food
Which we could all eat
What if there were no laws
Making it unsafe to walk our streets
What if there was no laughter
Everyone would be so sad
What if there were no feelings
No expressions of thoughts you had
What is there were no flowers
Blossoms that smell so sweet
What if there were no kind words spoken
When another person you meet
What if there was no nature
Mountains, lakes and rivers to see
What if there were no soldiers
Fighting wars to keep us free
What if there was no answer heard
WHen you call out for help one day
What if there was kindness
Given out in a very special way
Would this be the world
That you would want to live in each day
Or ould this be the world
You would happily watch vanish away
We all should strive to make sure
That these what if's never come true
Keeping each day full of pleasure
Enjoyed by everyone including you
