My Poetry: If You

If You...

---

If you love,

                  You must understand
                                                   Nothing is forever.
If you dream,
                     You must realise
                                                Life's alarm clock is set.
If you care,
                 You must dare
                                        To give completely.
If you worry,
                     You must know
                                              Storm clouds are temporary.
If you try,
               You must accept
                                         Rejection as a given.
If night terrorises,
                            You must remember
                                                            The sun also rises.
If once you believed,
                                 You must again
                                                         And heal what cleaved.
If you forget,
                    These things, then
                                                 Know this poem is for you.
