IF I HAD THE WHOLE WORLD

[MIRIAM JACOB]

IF I HAD THE WHOLE WORLD


What would I be
If I had the whole world to myself?
Owning all and possessing none,
Just wishful a thing, all for the mind
Perhaps I would be fanciful without focus
But I have what I have, and that is great.

What would I be
If I had all the riches to myself?
I wouldn't have to work, remain idle and inactive,
No, not when I still have energy, with positive ideas to initiate.
For that is just a sleeping world, and everyone is rich,
Yet even in Heaven there is worship,
Perhaps that is in the grave?

What would I be
If I had all the looks
Someone like everyone, yet not anyone after all.
Not known to anyone, yet looks like everyone
With many countenance, and without identity,
Not known altogether, yet seen all the time.
Only spirits are like that, but I'm human, I need identity.

What would I be
If I had all sizes?
Something like the tall, short, thin, big, small guy,
Ah, give me a break.
I need a size for better description,
Only those without sights would know me, if I had all sizes.

What would I be
If I were all sexes?
Would it be fun to be Madam, Sir, Lady or Gentleman?
Whatever that is, I dont wanna be.
I will celebrate what I am,
For the Lord gave me the best, and I am content.
