    What If?

    What great power? What great faith
    Created the world in a week?
    What imagination! What childlike delight!
    That envisioned everything in it!

    Mere mortals we are and we think we know
    The answers to life as we know it.
    What if we're wrong and what if the world
    Isn't anything like we thought it?

    Only God knows why He made us to be
    What we are, and there's no way to change it.
    Only God knows why a tree is a tree
    And why the sky is as blue as the seas.

    But, what if the world is only a dream
    Of a child up in the heavens?
    What if God were only a boy
    with a vivid imagination?

    And what if God grows up one day,
    Too old to play pretend,
    And He puts away His childhood toys
    And the world comes to an end?

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
