What if I can’t cry
when heart is heavy,
I still can wipe a tear
with my laughing eyes.
What if I can’t fly
even if heart wishes to,
I still can soar high
with daring dreams.
What if words fail me
when it is most important,
I still can surely make
my silence expressive.
What if I can’t have
what I wish to,
I still can achieve
what I aspire to.
