If I Were You And You Were Me! Poem by Alex Walker

If I were You and You were Me!

If I were you and you were me,
What would I see?
Would I see a happy family, or
would I see the things you wish to be?

If I were you and you were me,
you would see things that can never be.
Disappointments are clear to see,
Life's trials were tough on me.

If I were you and you were me.
I only wish this could be.
Your life may be good,
and mine may be what yours should.
