If you were a river
I’d be your canyon
Holding you close
But letting you run free
If you were a wave
I’d be the moon
Pulling you in
When you need to crash
If you were you
And if I was me
I’d love you forever
Just wait and see
If you were a carrot
I’d be your dirt
Keeping you safe
And helping you grow
If you were a pencil
I’d be your paper
Giving you a space
To tell your story
If you were you
And if I was me
I’d love you forever
Just wait and see
Times when you’re dark
I’ll be your light
Brightening up
The whole night sky
Times when you’re unsure
I’ll be your certainty
Adding exclamations
To your question marks
If you were you
And if I was me
I’d love you forever
Just wait and see
This is the one! You have got to keep these flowing and then put together in a book. So reassuring, so simple yet so deep. Really, really touching!
I really like your poem and I feature poems on my site once a month. I would like to feature this one for my readers in November if you don’t mind.
The posts are called Poetic License if you would like to see before you answer. Of course you will get the credit and a link back to your site. Please email and let me know. September was the first month and October is already full. If you would like to be included please provide the author’s name.
I hope my blog’s name doesn’t offend… Thanks.
Hi Tom,
Thanks for reading our blog. I’m glad you like the poem! Feel free to feature it… my name is Shannon Schaefer. I was at first a little taken aback by your name, but it’s pretty clever when you read the tag line. Thanks again! ~ Shannon
Thanks Shannon, I have added your poem to the December 13th Poetic License post and I will try to remember to remind you. October’s will be on the 27th.
I hope you were able to find something interesting on my site besides the name (smile)! Thank you again. Have a great night.
Tom
