Wren Rushing Poet Sonnet

If Not You

If I had never seen the morning sun, 
I still would know the light because of you. 
If we were miles apart then I would run, 
til the steps between us were but a few. 

If there were no roof up above our heads, 
then our love would give shelter from the storm. 
If the winter winds blow and our clothes threads, 
I would give all of mine to keep you warm. 

If we had a new chance to start again, 
I would begin my life's journey with you. 
If I had to walk with another freind, 
l would be left not knowing what to do. 

If I could hold you forever, I would. 
Forever isn't promised, now is good.
