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

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

I agree re the laughing. Even a smile uses a lot of muscles, so it's healthy too.

Any girl would be glad with those "if all I did's". Lovely thoughts bounce through the poem like a ribbon.

Kind words Dana'lynn. Glad you liked it. Thanks for stopping by

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.

Yeah. Probably should have added a line "if I had some money":)
