Bob Quigley Poet Rhyme

If All I Did

If all I did was make you feel
That you were someone who
Was worthy of my gift of love
And lit a flame anew

If all I did was hold your hand
When things were going wrong
And told you that you need not fear
Soon life would change it's song

If all I did was shed a tear
When you felt your heart would break
And tried to shield you from the hurt
Protect you from the ache 

If all I did was make you laugh
By something that I said
Brushed away a cloudy day
Lit up your sky instead

If all I did was help you see
The beauty that is you
Reflections of your inner self
Your radiance imbue

If all I did was love you
Would you my efforts spurn
Or might I dare to give my heart
For your heart in return

Margaret Foster October 21, 2011 at 6:56 PM Congratulations Bob on your success with this charming verse. I especially like the fourth stanza, anyone one who can make another laugh is a blessing...Cheers Margaret Bob Quigley October 24, 2011 at 2:12 PM I agree re the laughing. Even a smile uses a lot of muscles, so it's healthy too.

John Smith October 8, 2011 at 11:53 AM Great lines. The rhythm and meter flow free and smooth. But I bet, besides all those 'if all I dids,' she'll want to know you've a job. Bob Quigley October 8, 2011 at 12:17 PM Yeah. Probably should have added a line "if I had some money":)
