If I Could Be A Sponge

If I Could Be A Sponge

If I were not what I am
a sponge is what I'd be.
I would drain the sins from man's heart
and rinse myself at sea.

If I could but be a sponge
I would drain the wrongs from mind;
squeeze them up in me
and wash them away in time.

If I could but be a sponge
I would wipe up all the pain.
wring the world pure of cheats
and flush them away in rain.

If I had the power to absorb
the impurities of this earth
I would cleanse all the venom
which makes for man to hurt.

If I could but be a sponge
I would wipe the world's tears dry;
soak myself in eternity
never again to hear a cry.

If only I could be sponge
I would bring a halt to all crime.
Make the world safe and pure, forever,
TILL THE END OF TIME.

If you were a sponge you'd never hold anything for your own...and that would be a shame....I'd rather you were the man that you are...but this is an excellent write, all the same!

Hugs,

Spener,

You have some kind and noble thoughts in this one. enjoyed it and I wish it could be that easy.. but the world would be a better place if more people loved instead of hated and were willing to forgive instead of keeping grudges.. Great write as always!

Hugs!
