What If - A poem about answers you seek to your questions

~ What If ~

c. m. cox

Instead of feeling angry when others will not do for you right this second,

Think - What If?

What if patience is trying to teach you something new instead?

What If?

Instead of feeling upset when things do not go your way,

Think - What If?

What if your future is trying to direct you on a new path instead?

What if?

Instead of feeling hurt because something bad happened to you,

Think - What If?

What if pain is trying to guide you in a new way so you will never be hurt like this again?

What If?

Instead of feeling like all is lost in your life when emotions consume you,

Think – What If?

What if emotions are trying to help you build something new instead?

What if?

Instead of feeling like hope has left you,

Think – What If?

What if hope is trying to hug you but you deny the hug of hope instead?

What If?

- Eyes do see in 20/20 but vision for life must focus beyond that.

- Hearts do beat to sustain human life but the heart for life should never skip a beat.

- Ears can hear life but should never fail to listen for the sounds that give new chances in life.

- Noses can sniff the air but should never fail to inhale the positive aromas of life.

- Mouths can taste, swallow, and consume goods for human life but the flavor for life should never sour.

- Touch can feel contact but should never fail to sense the warm productions of: vision, scents, sounds, flavors, and the individual souls of life including self.

Why not give thought to What If? What do you have to lose? What do you have to gain?

What If peace does live in the What Ifs? Just Think ---- What If?
