Five Minute Friday: If I Knew I Could, I Would...

Today's prompt at Five Minute Friday is, "If I Knew I Could, I Would...".  Five minutes of writing, unedited.  Period.




If I knew I could, I would give my family everything that they wanted.  I would give my husband the opportunity to write to his hearts content, without guilt.  I would give my daughter a ranch out west, full of horses and a desk full of blank books for her to record all of her adventures.  I would give my boys a trip to the moon, where all of their thoughts seem to reside.  I would concern myself with fulfilling their biggest hopes and dreams.  I would watch their joy.  I would give them peace.  I would give.  Like the Giving Tree,  I would give everything I had for them so they could build their own "boats" and "houses", just like the boy did in that beloved picture book... and I would be happy.
