If I were you and you were me
Would we be the same us that others see?
If eagles were buzzards and buzzards were eagles
Would the eagle disgust, while the buzzard soared high?
If You were the cover and I was the book
Would you know what was written on it’s pages?
If the sun were rain and rain was the sun
Would we then jump in great big sun-puddles?
And if I was your heart and you were my eyes
Would you cry every time it’s been broken?
This may seem like jumbled up nonsense to you
But would it be that odd? Could it be so strange?
If you thought with your soul and drifted on dreams
And wisdom came in a cereal box?!?

It’s such an interesting subject… so many ifs, and like all philosophy it does get you thinking.
I’m not usually very good with poetry so had to read it a few times… but I do like it! What ifs are always interesting to ponder over!
And who’s to say that cereal boxes don’t contain wisdom? We got puzzles on the back of the last one!!

LOL That’s very true GeorgieGirl :) The last box we got had a reading light in it too! :P

Food for thought, the poem and the reading light in the cereal box ;) It certainly is a wonderful poem to express the alternate paths we can choose to take Rain :) Very thought provoking!! VBS

if You were the cover and I was the book
