If I Could

if i could 
make you happy
just by waving my hand
it would be the least of things
i hope you understand
but i prefer something greater
like swiming across the sea
or climb the highest mountian
just so you could see me
like a child says "mommy watch"
just pretend that's me
i'd dig a hole to china
with you watching me
and when it comes to taming lions
anythings worth a try
i'd do it in a second
if i knew i'd catch your eye
i'd cross the Gobi Desert
if you were on the other side
walk from here to Tim Buc too
if that is where you hide
i'd dive into the Baltic sea
if you were in a submarine
and tap on the hatch my code
to let you know where ever you go
i won't be far behind
so when it comes to making you happy
that's nothing to me
i could think of a lot of things
but i think i'll start 
by waving my hand

John iii This is a very wonderful love poem. I like the way you start with a wish, make loads of impressive promises and then end with simplicity... waving your hand. And that, my friend, is a real good start. I'm smiling on this one. Love to you. Dane Ann

If I could---mighty big words John. All the things you would do made me chuckle but then nothing is funny about love and feelings. God Bless Phyl
