IF I WASNT HERE

If I wasn't here 

Perchance I'd be an angel

Looking downward with a pristine stare

Ostensibly, intimately with Gabriel 

If I wasn't here

I would feel no pain

I would breathe sans fear

And fly nude with no shame. 

If I wasn't here 

I won't need a hoe

Nor work my shoulder 

To put grains in my bowl

If I wasn't here

I won't have any foe

Waiting in repose to fleer

When I hit a stone with my toe

If I wasn't here

I would ne'er shed tears

Neither would a dirge pass by my ear

I'll walk the night with no fear. 

If I wasn't here 

The sun ne'er will burn my skin

Nor the rain fall on my hair 

No cold will be felt within 

If I wasn't here

I would never die

I won't have a body you can spear

No hands but wings to fly

If I wasn't here

I would be an angel 

Up high swerving in the sky 

I might e'en be an archangel
