Below is the challenge results for August 13, 2005. Challenge: Write a poem, short story, or letter with the phrase "If I could I would". Written By: © Litha Sonner If I Could I Would... If I could I would End poverty today I'd feed all the children And help them in every way If I could I would End violence in the world To make a brighter future For every boy and girl If I could I would Plant a billion trees To make a home for wildlife And to make our air clean If I could I would Make peace on earth And teach everyone What a life is really worth If I could I would Help every child to learn School is so important The education that they'd learn I cannot do it all alone Is what some may say But together we could do it So lets start today I'll feed a child in need And you plant a tree Together we can make this world A better place for you and me Written By: © Kimberly Ann If I could I would leave you with no doubts If I could I would take all your fears If I couldI would grant your every wish If I could I would fulfill your every desire If I could I would Spend an eternity with you. Written By: © Deena Marie Scott If I could, I would hurt you, I would scream at you, call you names.. make you feel as bad and unwanted as you make me feel. If I could, I would destroy you piece by piece as you have been destroying my soul.. a little bit at a time.. one word at a time. If I could I would paint you ugly.. as you have used my mind.. my heart.. and soul.. as a canvas to paint your betrayal and selfishness. If I could I would destroyyou, tear you up inside till you did not know which way to turn, where even your sanctuary becomes your prison. But instead.. I am going to do what you could, if you would.. but won't. I am going to hold you and comfort you, tell you it's all ok, I will kiss your brow and caress your back and tell you I love you. Then because I can.. I am going to let you go.. and say good bye. Written By: © Genta I sit and think where did I go wrong. What is it that I need to do to free me from your anger and wrath? But you know if I could I would take away the hurt and the pain you are experiencing. I would reinstate the trust you lost in people. I would have explained to you that I was not feeling any emotions from you. I apologize for finding it elsewhere. You can no longer make me feel guilty though. I have forgiven myself. I have asked you to forgive me and let us try to move on but you cannot. If I could, I would leave you in the sad pitiful state that you are in. I should move on and achieve my dreams of going back to school and getting my own place. But there is something binding me to you. It is not love because that left along time ago. I want to see you suceed and become someone. If I could change your past, so I would not be trapped in your present and future. Because if I could, I would erase the day I met you out of my memory. Written By: © Jessa If I could I would move on, past the pain filled past and torments of people long gone. If I could, I would hold you in my arms, letting go of that which had came before. If I could, I would let the love I feel for you grow. If I could... But I don't, I hold on to the past, my back to the future. A blind eye I turn to what could be, only see what once was. I let them hold me, these memories of things long gone. I let them grow, the remnants of torments long ended. If I could, I would, but I can't.
