If

Merely a word,

It is the birthplace of imagination,

The seed of hope,

Where wisdom finds strength,

And reason unites with reality,

For circumstance requires solution,

And problems require persistence,

It is the key which opens the door,

Leading from where things are visible,

Into where things remain unseen,

Such is perspective,

For perspective must have wings,

Without which can be seen nothing more,

Except the land where we are,

For perspective takes our minds to new lands,

And where our minds go,

Our feet will follow,

When our minds can see,

What our souls can feel,

And the mind and soul join forces,

In seeking strength from the heart,

For it is from the heart,

We have strength to face the unknown,

Courage to survive the storm,

Excitement to reach the new land,

Passion to take another by the hand,

Yet all these things come together,

Unlocked by one key,

Reinforced by one keystone,

And are supported and made straight,

By the cornerstone of imagination,

The concept that makes,

Faith a powerful gift,

For ordinary men and women,

Took their first step,

 In what they did to change the world,

By embracing the question,

And concept,

Of “If”.
