This page is dedicated to my step-mother Susan Woomer who recently wrote me a beautiful poem to place on this page. I'm hoping to recieve many more submissions from her now that I know how much of a talented artist she is. Thank you Sue for the wonderful poem. It brought tears to my eyes. I love you!
IF ONLY

These words fall softly on this page, like snowflakes from the sky.
Wisdom and knowledge can be hard as ice, When thrown before your eyes!

   If only I could tell you, If only there was time.
   If only you would listen, To the knowledge that is mine.
   If only I could find a way, to show you How and why,
   If only you could look inside, and see with your own eyes!

There was a time when I like you, thought love was so sublime.
All that mattered was this love, until the end of time.

   If only I could share with you, The things that I have seen,
   If only you could go with me, To the places I have been.
   If only I could take you, to the place of "what might be"
   If only you would walk with me, and look at what I see.

Time moves itself in circles, We follow around inside.
Over and over we make our mistakes, like a bad rollarcoaster ride.

   If only I could get you off, long enough for you to see,
   If only you would stop long enough, to view how life should be.
   If only I could find a way, to change your point of sight,
   If only you would try it, you would begin to see the light.

Before I go I want to say, that although I have insight,
I cannot live your life for you, but help a little, I might.

   If only I could say all the things that would make a difference for you,
   If only you would listen without telling me I have no clue.
   If I could save you a day of pain, I would share with you my secrets.
   If you would hear without refrain, you could avoid a lot of regrets.

Knowledge and wisdom come at a price, one that is hard to pay,
These words are all done falling, this is all I have left to say!

   If only I could hug you and tell you I love you,
   If only you would love yourself, and see you as I do.
   If I could give you a way to see, all that I have seen and know,
   If you would look and learn from this, what happiness you would know!
