If
by: Gardeopatra Quijano
If only I had wings
Through the air I'd soar,
I'd scan for those sobbing
And make them happy, for them I'd
sing;
I'd search out those in sorrow
Return to them what's lost.
If I were like the fish
I'd dive into the dark waters,
I'd look for the pearls
Gather all beautiful things
I'd bring them to our land
So all would be smiling.
If I were the waters,
Id topple those cliffs,

My coolness I'd wash over,

I would rot the logs;
I'd level the sloping hill
And give a new shape to things.
If I were the sun,
I wouldn't let the clouds hide me,
I'd flood down all my brightness,
I'll give all the beauty
So that all will have their fill,
Singing, rejoicing, singing!
If I were the wind,
Oh, I'd tease the flowers,
I'd scatter to all corners
The fallen petals,
So their fragrance would remain
A trial of scent for the poet
