If Ever

If ever I could wish to swim among the stars,
If ever I could dream to touch the rings of Saturn,
If ever I could trust life long enough to understand,
If ever I could stride like a giant from galaxy to galaxy,
If ever I could hope to build a tower above the clouds of heaven,
If ever I could do anything good for all of humankind,
If ever I could believe in the promise of a rainbow,
I would know that you and I could circle the moon,
Catching cosmic beams of love and hope and promise.
Like a child who circles the lawn chasing fireflies;
If ever I could…
I would!
