What Would We Do: A Lot of Ifs

If life was put on hold,
There was no one to scold,
What would we do?

If all just turned away,
There was no world of play,
What would we do?

If butterflies weren't free,
No beauty could we see,
What would we do?

If peace did not endure
And truth was not secure,
What would we do?

If rainbows were not there
With colors to compare,
What would we do?

If love did not abound,
Our hearts could never pound,
What would we do?

If laughter was all gone,
No longer was there dawn,
What would we do?

If nothing was e'er free,
There was no money tree,
What would we do?

If we could not suppose
The sweetness of a rose,
What would we do?

If there was no time,
And we could never rhyme,
What would we do?

We take a lot of things for granted, but what if...?
