Would you?

If a rose fell to the ground surrounded by dirt
would you lift its beauty from the dust?
Would you brush off the petals and lay it back down,
would you leave it to wilt in the sun?
If it lay there so perfect, so lovely to see
would you want to disturb its grace?
When the colour began to seep from its core
would you stare at it throughout the day?

If a blackbird was sitting alone in a tree
lamenting its life in sorrow
Would you block out the noise and return to you life
or would you feel his pain like your own?
If he sang out a song that broke your heart
would you cry in the shade of his perch?
When he falls to the ground in broken repair
would you go lift his wings in your hands?

If you live your life day to day
does it mean you don't look to tomorrow?
When the days are long and your soul is light
do you remember the times long past?
If a stranger approached you and asked you for change
would you ask her the same in return?
When the night time falls and your home alone
do you lay on the floor so mournful ?
