 Let us just suppose For a little while. What if things were of a different Colour, sort, or style. What if clouds were purple? Or the sky always deep red? Let's suppose that trees grew hair, And we, leaves on our head. What if grass was orange, And snow the colour green. If grass green grew up in the sky, 'Twould be a different scene.  Let's suppose that cats would bark And dogs would then meow. Or if "moo" would go the pig And "oink" would go the cow. What a sight it would be If people had four feet. If, for clothes, we all grew fur, Wouldn't that be neat? I imagine it would be quite hilarious, If everyone would look just like a rhinoceros. If ears were eyes and eyes were ears, With noses on our chin. If mouths were vertical instead, Would make a funny grin. On and on we could go With our imagining. But when all is said and done, It won't change anything. Many times, we might hear it said, "If only this..." Maybe sometimes we ourselves Will mumble, "I just wish..."  Could it be the shape of our nose That bothers us? Or that we're short, or, tall or thin, Or fat, of which we fuss? Have you thought, if only I Could be like - so and so? What we really want to be, I don't think that we know. If you could change things around For even just a day. In the end you'd change it back Again the other way. For God is the Creator, And He made things Perfectly, Including plants and animals And even you and me.
