IF
If,Then, If...then, If then,
What if otherwise willed
Our ifs should end
And chance's cup be filled?
If was yesterday's sake
I cannot now recall
When I that turn did take
And other options did forestall.
An if's potential we see
Not yet an actual this
As if an if could be
Other than the if that is.
The if that is tomorrow
Is in today's hand,
With joy or further sorrow,
Not in some distant land.
A wish seen in dreams
To see another day
Becomes what it seems
The "If" as we say.
My if became today,
There's no other if at play.
