if

if...

if we don't ever take chances,
we won't reach the rainbows

if we don't ever search,
we'll never be able to find

If we don't attempt to get over our doubts and fears,
we'll never discover how wonderful it is to live without them

if we don't go beyond difficulty,
we won't grow any stronger.

if we don't keep our dreams alive,
we won't have our dreams any longer.

but...

if we can take a chance now and then,
seek and search, discover and dream,

grow and go through each day with the knowledge that
we can only take as much as we can give,

and we can only get as much out of life
as we allow ourselves to live...

then...

we can be truly happy.

we can realize a dream or two along the way,
and we can make a habit of reaching for rainbows

and coloring our lives with
... wonderful days
