What if...

What if I
told you we can be
happy every day?

What if we
decided that today would be
a day for butterflies?

What if the clouds
were always white and puffy
and it never rained?

What if the sun
wore sunglasses
and a smiley face?

What if the grass
was always green
and soft?

What if the flowers
never
wilted?

What if the water
was never murky
and always shimmered?

What if the wind
brushed our hair
and kissed our cheeks?

What if there
was a rainbow every morning
at 8:45?

What if I
loved you
and you loved me?
