248. What If?

What would happen if you suddenly lost your eyes?
Would you forget losing weight because you couldn’t see your thighs?
What would happen if your nose fell off your face?
Could you still hold your head with dignity and maintain your grace?
What would happen if you suddenly lost your tongue?
How could you sing or answer the phone after it had rung?
And what about your ears if they just disappeared?
If you couldn’t listen would there be many things you feared?
What if you were different then you are right now?
Would you really be any happier or feel better some how?
What if you suddenly realized that you are fine as you are?
Wouldn’t you just enjoy life and no longer wish upon a star?
