Ifs And Buts
by June Nash
.
If ifs and buts were fruits and nuts
If only I had enough guts
To stand up and speak honestly
About those acting greedily
How we should all be quite content
With all we have and life’s content
To help each other selflessly
And stop the crying me me me
.
If ifs and buts were fruits and nuts
If only I had enough guts
To live my life as I would preach
Out to others my hands would reach
To say, not me, I need no raise
And then, of others virtues praise
To give without want of reward
Or to tally blessing points scored
.
If ifs and buts were fruits and nuts
If only I had enough guts
I’d venture out and gather these
And pass them out as I would please
These nuts and fruit could feed the poor
Sated they would not ask for more
But these are only words, not deeds
Only words, but they can plant seeds
