If I could see into the future, would I like what I saw?
Maybe We are lucky we cannot see ahead, natures law.

If I could spread love throughout the world, would it be healthy love?
Everyone requires their own degree, the best being from above!

If I could heal all the sick in this world, would it be a correct cure?
So many have died, with so much they had to endure.

If I could free the world from hate, would it help those ingrained with it?
It saddens me to see how some thrive on hate as I thrive on love.

If I could be shelter in times of storm, would I be strong enough?
Mother Nature can be very tough, Should I test her and call her bluff?

These are things I wish to do, but what I can do is from my heart!
I can be your friend, listen even when you say nothing, 
And I can hold your hand when you feel weakest, I can love you as you are. 
These things help life to be more productive, and this is what I shall do for you!
After all you are my friend.
