My Poetry. If.

If I was the sea,
I would carry you for miles,
Protect you from the sharks,
Drown in your bright smiles.

If I was God,
I would forgive all sinners,
Force mankind to love,
Make everyone winners.

If I was rich,
I would buy you fresh flowers,
Give money to the poor,
Build family towers.

If I was telepathic,
I would read your mind,
Root out all your despair,
And make negativity kind.

If I was an insect,
I would probably be
A busy little ant,
Scrounging and free.

If I was an animal,
I would like to be
A roaring Lion,
Fearing me.

If I was a car,
I would be very fast,
Leaving the dust behind,
Having a blast.

If I was a bird,
I would soar in the sky,
Enjoy all the views
And people passing by.

If I was a horse,
I would run forever,
Then eat hay at night,
To be proud and clever.

If I was a ship,
I would be on a cruise,
Lap up the sun,
Enjoying the booze!

If I was the sun,
I would shine on all of you,
Because you are special,
Unique through and through.
