"If all men count with you but none too much"
If you're open to all
but not too blind to identify those who would watch you fall

If you can give without expecting
If you can leave without holding grudges but hold precious memories dearly;
If you can say SORRY and mean it
If a pal's apology doesn't inflate your pride...

If you can see BEAUTY and adore her
If you can see her in the mud and recognize her
If she is out of sight but you can see her within
If she is nearby and attended to
If she is around and honored...

If there is love in your heart
If you say it and do it
If you can lose to win and tell the story not for men's praise or the glory
If you can bend a knee for a greater victory!
If you can insist on the right thing and refuse to bow to pressure...

THEN,

You're a good man deserving Heaven's bliss, the Earth's fullness and all things good and fulfilling!

If I could write words
Like leaves in a dry forest,
What a wildfire my letters would make;

If I could voice out
My thoughts like full grown trees,
What a lovely shade they would provide;

If I could sing
Like free birds perusing the sky,
The melody will make you fly;

If I could speak words
As water,
You'd float or drown when I say

I LOVE YOU
