Image for the poem if only i could swap positions with god

if only i could swap positions with god

A perfect family portrait
The sun is setting on the mountain in the background
Everybody is smiling, everybody is full of life
A family of seven, such a blessed and perfect number
But what you don't see that little boy with his hair shaved
Has leukemia that doesn't respond to medication and he can't be saved
If only I could, just for a second swap positions with god..........
A perfect mother
With a perfect heart
The best mother to raise a child
A mother every child would be proud to call a mother
She's busy raising chairs and TV stands
But what you don't know, she had 3 boys and 1 daughter all of them died in a car crash
Her youngest son died in her hands
If only I could, just for a second swap positions with god.........
A beautiful bride
The most beautiful bride I've ever seen
She's standing before a mirror with a tear in her eye
She's waiting on chimes and bells
and walk down the aisle
But what you don't know the groom isn't  coming back from war
So she's getting married to his ashes
If only I could, just for a second swap positions with god...........
