iReport —

if a broken heart

begins to mend

and a rigid mind

is moved to bend...

if a hungry soul

is fed and blessed

and a rolling stone

comes home to rest...

if the rich and poor

could find a way

to close the gap

and save the day...

if a battered wife

survives the night

and eyes once black

now see the light...

if a cure is found

for cancers rare

and a mother's breast

the knife is spared...

if a curious boy

learns how to read

and a homeless man

earns his first deed...

if a frigid frown

thaws to a smile

and a spirit down

skies for a mile...

if Cinderella

finds her lost shoe

and the lonely girl

keeps her love true...

then these few lines

would make my life's work

most complete and fulfilling...

~~~~~~
