If Only, If Only

If only, if only,
Are such simple words,
To measure desire of mind.

Each hope seeks a new place,
Somewhere different in time,
Some seek the far future while others tarry behind.

We long for changes this moment,
Right here and right now.
We try to recreate each moment anew.

But God makes the pathways,
And it is He who determines,
What we, in each situation, should do.
