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. 10/20/18
