I‘D LIKE TO BE

Of all the things

I’d like to be

Expressed in

Dreams

As fantasies

I’d like to be

The ray of light

To kiss your lips

And hold you tight

I’d like to be

Your favorite song

I’d be the words

That touched

Your heart

So when you’d feel

Your heartstrings tug

You’d fall in love

With me

Much more

I’d like to be

The tear that falls

From your brown eyes

When you feel woe

I’d slowly fall

Into your lips

So I could taste

Your lips of wine

I’d like to be

The rain that falls

On mountains high

And valleys low

To trace each niche

And every curve

So I could touch

Your soul in sleep

And when the years

Have passed us by

When death

Our shadow be

I’d ask of God

Please send

Sweet Death

For me

When our bodies

Bend with wear

And memory

Begins to fail

When eyes have lost

Their lustrous glow

And lips have lost

Their shinny blush

When silver shines

From brow and crown

When wrinkles cover

Each and every inch

I’ll still be dreaming

Of all the things

I’d like to be

When I have left

This earth’s abode

I’d ask of God

A short escape

So I could be

The brightest ray

That breaks

The gloom

Of endless night

The tear that Holts

And laughter lights

The rainy day

That makes

Things bright

The thought that runs

Each now and then

The memory

You loved

The most
