If I Only Could

Bars hold back her fleeting touch where faint feelings meant hope and brought inspiration when pieces puzzled a daggered heart Diamonds shone bright on a worthless day appearing in starlit eyes if only I could . . . Turn into that beautiful blue jay the one that sings an endearing song and sit outside your window sill playing a tune for you all day long You surely would notice and dance about the day leaving all your worries in the breeze where they could simply float away Out back beyond the old oak trees growing in the recesses of your view where the pretty wildflowers sway I'll be with the Gilia looking out for you I'd sit out in the garden and smile up at you watch you ray of goodness in everything you do You surely would notice and dance about the day leaving all your worries in the breeze where they could simply float away

Tim, you could come and play for me any day, with or without the "bluejay" suit. When people are sad or lonely, having someone who cares enough to try to brighten their world is quite a reward. Just love the way you create the uplifting imagery here.

Beautiful Tim if only we could be that bird on a branch watching over her and she would notice.
