What if we had no lion to roar, What if we had no sweet or sour, What if we had no Earth with a core, What if to write no pages we tore.

What if we didn’t depart,
What if we had no cart,
What if we had no net,
What if the police allowed a theft.

What if he had no books,
What if in chess, we had no rooks,
What if we didn’t have bright skies,
What if to eat we had no pies.

What if we had no valuable water,
What if we had no hilarious laughter,
What if we had no animals or birds,
What if we of cows we had no herds.

What if we had no pen to write,
What if we had no flying kite,
What if we had no aeroplanes,
What if we had no cranes.

What if we had no eagle,
What if we had no seagull,
What if we had no air,
What if we had no Ozone Layer.

Oh Almighty! We are grateful, grateful for all the delights,
Oh God! We are thankful for everything in life.
