If I Could Catch

If I could catch a falling star and put it in my pocket,
I’d make a wish, I’d wish so hard, no other thing could stop it.

If I could catch your tragic tears and store them in a casket,
I’d be right there, before you cared, before you’d even ask it.

If I could catch what you caught first, feel every pain, I’d take it,
I’d smile so wide, good tears I’d cry, because my love, you’d make it.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
