if i were your poem
i’d ignite a flame in you
to wrap you in warmth and strength you deserve
‘cause you deserve the prosperity of love
if i were your poem
i’d bring you to believe
again
in the good of all people
if i were your poem
i’d bring out the child in me
for you to cuddleandplay with
so you are never too old
never too alone
if i were your poem
i’d tender your heart
so you no longer have to try so hard
if i were your poem
i’d tickle you to tears
and free your laughter in you
dying to be shared with this world
into the wonder of all smiles
if i were your poem
i’d offer you solace
for those days of pouring rain
for those days when hours of darkness seem
(yes only seem) to last forever
if i were your poem
i’d cup your fears
with my (small) hands
to nurture them
into your dreams
if i were your poem
i’d mirror your beauty
that you are so unaware of
‘cause you are a nature’s work of perfection of you
(you couldn’t be anymoreorless YOU)
if i were your poem
i’d sing to your soul
until you are rested
until you are mended
until you are ready
to scoresoar the sky
to sing with your wings
if i were your poem
i’d build you a home
to safelyprotect you from you
so you can be trulydeeply you
‘cause you really are a gift
a gem to this world
if i were your poem
i’d bring out the poet in you
which you already are
you are
